Yipes you got me.
Sounds like you lived up in 6A at 400 RSD
I ran into Dolores Capece at a Starbucks in Northern VA last fall. She has two sons in high school. One is getting ready for college. He's interested in going to columbia. I told him the same thing dolores did. If you go to columbia you have to be prepared to lose ten years -- at least-- in some bizarre time warp. In fact, that boy tapped into anger I didn't know I had. Not at him mind you -- though the way he talked reminded me of the way I talked when I was his age.
Dolores said she and alison knopf had been up to NYC recently to see bob campbell. She said he hadn't changed a bit. I expect he's still living at 400 RSD.
I've become a lot more conservative.
If you're posting here--you've followed a similiar trajectory. In fact, there's a CU ping list on FR somewhere. A lot of guys are still pissed at the hopelessly stupid stuff they picked up at CU.
I don't recall what happened to Jordan. He could be still living at 400 RSD for all I know. From time to time in my dreams I'm still there.
I'm glad/relieved to wake up in Virginia.
No, Old Friend, I never lived in that apartment with you guys. I do remember some really good parties there, though.
I know what you mean about the time warp. But I look back more in sadness than anger.
Does sound like you've changed a bit. I think I was basically conservative even then, listening to Rush Limbaugh, starting the first morning he was broadcasting on WABC, and regularly after that. Just didn't advertise my political views back then--didn't need the hassle and probable ostracism. Had a different agenda in those days, and "White Harlem"/CU were so full of rabid left-wingers in those days that I kept a low profile. Nor into earning a living and young man's games than activism.
Got out of the neighborhood a few years after you did, I guess. Now I rarely go back to NYC...and most of my dreams of that place have been triggered by 9-11.
will continue in a Freep-mail....
