I wish I was coming to the city soon! Instead, we leave tomorrow to drive to Poughkeepsie for the long weekend. It's Mary Ann's 50th birthday, and we are going there for a big party with the fam. I will think of our Vassar trip, in a pickup truck, with your Mom....

Clue needs a bigger board; clearly it's time to think outside the Conservatory.
