On the other hand, there's this laundromat in Port Angeles
There was a copy of Smart Computing magazine on the table while I was doing the wash. I picked it up and opened it to a random article talking about Quattro's incompatibilities with Netscape 4. I looked at the date on the cover: 1998. I put the magazine down and watched the Rockford Files on the TV.
Why are we out here? When we left the D.C. area four or five years ago, this was our destination. But somehow we ended up in Ithaca NY, and then Brattleboro VT. We were going the wrong way. So we're visiting here partly because I've never been, and partly because Sarah's cousins have been having babies over the past couple years.
It was a bonus that Jim was coming through — we had no idea...
