Dear Mrs. Kim,

New York was a week ago, actually, and even though I promised to write to you while I was there you must believe me when I tell you that I have not had the opportunity to get online since the fourth of July.

Can you believe that I actually slept through the 4th of July fireworks in Times Square? I was in my hotel in Manhattan taking a nap during the celebrations. But I suppose that once you’ve seen one fireworks show you’ve seen them all. In truth I was a little homesick, and I longed to be in Washington State at my family celebration.

New York is a terrible place. The next time I am forced to drive in that trafficky mess it will be because I have work to do, not because I am there enjoying myself.

Currently I am in Chicago, having already passed through Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, London, and Detroit. Montreal was one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen, with many little restaurants serving small meals on sidewalks, and beautiful people strolling about speaking French to each other.

French sounds so fluid and musical, unless one understands what they are saying. Then one just hears the same old stories of back pain and aching teeth and about why the speaker’s mortgage is so high. But when one is ignorant, the language, indeed the whole world, is beautiful.

Write me back!

Hi RBM,

Sorry about the late reply, but being on the road as we are I know
you’ll understand. A shame that you can’t make the item before we get
to your place, I really wanted to have one for the trip. But I understand.

As for when we arrive at your place- it won’t be for another couple of
weeks at least. We HAD planned on going up to Kansas from Vegas, but at
the last minute I was able to track down an IMAX Ridefilm location that
still had a copy of Journey into Chaos in their closet. The staff was
happy to give us a special showing of the film, and since they were on
the Gulf of Mexico we headed on down. That’s where we are now,
chilling in a coffee shop/bar in Galveston, TX. Journey into Chaos was
pretty good, although not as exciting as the first ridefilm.

From here we will scoot through Katrina Country to the east coast, then
follow a train of locations through DC, up to NY, Montreal, Ottawa, and
back down into middle America. You will be among the last fans we visit
before heading to BC.

See you soon!

P.S.
By strange coincidence we found both ridefilms inside pyramids. The
Luxor is a giant pyramid-shaped casino, of course, and so was the
Discovery Center at Moody Gardens where we dug up Journey into Chaos.
