| The world's tallest Lenin statue was salvaged
from Slovakia and now stands next to Taco Del Mar. I had just finished ordering
my usual super fish burrito --wheat, black, and hot (i.e., the tortilla,
beans, and sauce, respectively)-- when I thought I recognized the guy standing
in line behind me. I'm getting to that age where everyone I see reminds me
of someone I once knew so I paid it no mind until I saw him eyeing me. "Aren't
you...?" he began. I knew immediately who it had to be--Andrew
Keyes. |

We'd gone our separate ways after college
freshman year, back in '88. Since then he'd taken a master's in oceanography
from San Diego but gave it up after he realized it was mostly statistics
and he tended to get seasick. After that he travelled the world, riding busroofs
in India and breakfasting with monkeys in Bali. A rather roundabout journey
just so we could meet again at a Seattle taco stand on a rare sunny day.
