I once had a Honda named Maggie. Today I killed her in a car crash. Ah, my beautiful and faithful friend who died many miles (and six months) before her time… I shall miss you.

And now presenting…

  • Hey April, yeah this was a wedding of two friends that I met in Kolkata volunteering at Prem Dan. It was awesome- E invitations and donations to World Vision instead of gifts. They did also sing a song for all of us, and to each other… very cool. We spent a lot of time carousing.
