What?  Oh.

There I was, minding my own business, surfing the web, looking for information 
on hobo sign language (I'm married to a kind-hearted woman).

Next thing I know,

Next thing I know I've hopped a northbound freight with Wes (virtually, of 
course; my real train-hopping experience was a couple hundred 
sphincter-tightening yards in a boxcar when I was eleven) and I jumped off at 
the Spoon Cafe.  Runcible Spoon.

But ya never know what's going to happen.  I mean, one day you head over to 
the Pie Hut for a slice of apple-cranberry, and when you come back next week 
there's a Walmart there in its place.  So after your initial shock, you make 
adjustments and start patronizing the Pie Hole across town.  Pie is really 
what it's all about, anyway.  So I walked over to the Tree with everyone 
else, and I've been hanging here ever since.

I've managed to attend some of the Banyan Tree gatherings and have met and 
re-met some wonderful people.  I hope to meet more of you in the future!

May happy circumstance grant us another four years together.  I wish I had 
time to write more; I DO make the time to read everything that comes into the 
Tree.

best regards and pie for everyone,
Mike
