This date we will remember as the beginning of Robert’s Odyssey to the West. I am thinking about him a lot – the way I did you [Lisa] 11 years ago.
Rob told us on the phone that he wasn’t going to take the Penn. Turnpike because the tolls amounted to $12. Dad said that wasn’t so bad. Rob said, “it’s a tank of gas!” Robert may be the first person in history to come out of graduate school without owing any loans. The only valuable possessions he is taking the car are his saxophones. (… he bought a little soprano sax a few months ago.) Everything else is packed up in 35 boxes which Rich Cohen will ship to him via UPS as soon as Rob knows his Palo Alto address.
