i trul, truly believe in some crazy sort of thought energy thing. in my quick escapes from the party, i sat to write some e-mails. i wrote to my favorite climing, crazy, amazing mechanic friend ant who sort of lives outside boston or new hampsire or could very well be riding his bike to guatemala and is sometimes hard to get in touch with. after sending this e-mail i went back to the party and had a conversation about a friend's son who is trying to convert a schoolbus to a camper in order to drive to the tip of south america and back...and i told her my friend ant would be perfect to help with the mechanics of the change. weird? maybe. maybe i just had ant of the brain, but ant is also the only person i know who would be valuable in a school bus to camper switch. anyhow, i was so excited to see that ant actually wrote back to me in the last hour. what are the chances? slim to none, but i caught him on the slim side and that made me so happy. so, here's to serendipity and ant! cheers.
