Jed’s Wanderjahr

In which Jed plays games, practices providing conversational hooks for other people to pick up, knits most of a cap, and adds material to his website. Or “Web site,” as he used to call it in those days.

In which Jed digitizes some photos and becomes uncomfortably aware of how little progress he’s made on fiction writing so far this trip.

In which Jed attends a very cold First Night celebration, helps David move, prepares to get his ear irrigated, and plays with Sarah's cat. Also: parlor games.

In which Jed launches his words & wordplay column, visits a Holocaust memorial, sings rounds, recognizes that his mood has been declining (due in part to Winter), and makes travel plans.

In which Jed discusses the lack of personal details in this travelogue, backs up his computer, attends a great Kallet/Epstein/Cicone concert, and drives down to Alexandria, VA, after overcoming multiple car-related obstacles.
