This is not about Starbucks, pop-culture or counter-culture (though I am cut off). But if you read this far, mission accomplished (and not in the Bushian, premature ejubilation sense). This is a blog about my life starting tomorrow. And tomorrow brings me (back) to Ukraine, home of my post-collegiate childhood and coming of age. Now I return four years later and chronicle my crawling back. Perhaps wiser, certainly balder.
