You were the hapless passenger with the crazy sixteen year old driver. It was probably winter too. Did you know my other friends called me "Toetag Bill?" Wow. I'm a much better — and safer — driver these days. Ahh large Italian families. Congrats on getting married, though I'm sure it's rather belated. I came across Jason's site (or his wife's?) and we corresponded for a little while but that communication fell through too. So it goes. <img src="http://www.littlebillproductions.com/email_sig_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Little Bill" /> Haha Adam, you say “we” as if you were the driver.

Ahh large Italian families. Congrats on getting married, though I’m sure it’s rather belated. I came across Jason’s site (or his wife’s?) and we corresponded for a little while but that communication fell through too. So it goes.

How did we not end up pulled over or killed? The second time we tried it we did almost rear-end a truck. I guess that was the universe's way of telling us not to go to the well one too many times. Depending on when you're "home" over the holiday I should be around. We've got some family obligations of course (ahhh the large italian family I married into) and some standing plans, but like I said I should be around.

I still remember our crazy 5 min drive from Rome to Utica. In that little red Plymouth Horizon. Remember that? I think I made that car do things it wasn't designed to do. I think that was my senior year... Turning thirty really affected me. It was a very frustrating birthday with me coming to terms with feeling some pull to grow up; and to become more responsible for both my actions and my words. It was spent in the hometown, which is already rough for me as I'm trying to come to terms reconciling my life here in New York with the world I left behind — which is never really behind. Confusing stuff. Glad to see you're checking in from time to time. Maybe over the holiday I'll look you up. My email address is the same it's been for a long time. Look me up. <img src="http://www.littlebillproductions.com/email_sig_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Little Bill" /> Yo Adam. I still remember our crazy 5 min drive from Rome to Utica.

You're one of the few people (actually the only one I think) from High School whose web presence I've found and remember to check from time to time. As I'm coming up on the big Three Oh next year; I hear you about the whole somber feeling. It feels like once you hit 30, it's time to finally be a grown-up, to be established or on your way to respectability, or something. I’ve still been checking in on your journal.
