Yet despite our frenzied activity, I assure you lhat there is a glimmer of hope, and a bright spot on the horizon. Come May I6th, we will all be out of here.

That means riding five hours or more in a car that has to have its oil changed every 100 miles. That means sharing the backseat with my brother and sister. That means trying to keep my sanity while defending my third of the seal and my choice of radio stations. It's something we do every year, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
