Yeah, dude, San Jose is something like an 8-hour drive from here. It's in the bay area. But we should definitely arrange something when you get to Seattle! What will you guys be doing there? I'd love to come visit, although I'll have to see what's going on with vacation time and all that. And you're more than welcome to come down here!

Yo Rachel,
I will be in San Jose at the end of August for a few days, is that a freakin' decade of driving away from you? Plus, Christina and I will be in Seattle for perhaps a year starting September, so we should arrange something at some time (how about that for a noncomittal, non specific suggestion?)

Is anyone going to Homecoming this year? If I get the okay from my boss, I'm buying tickets to come out to the midwest for about five days around Homecoming. I'll probably make an appearance there for a day, possibly longer if more people will be around. (It will be my first trip back since last August!)
