from a friend in L.A.

Despite having extensively covered my Dartmouth reunion on this blog, this was too good not to post:

I miss some things about Hanover. What you said about the clean air reminded me of most of them. The mountains up there are much more solid and joyous than the earthquake-formed shit-piles out here. I realized out here that what I meant by "I love nature," when I said and meant it, was that "I love Eastern Deciduous Forests."
