Iʻm going to Flagstaff, Arizona instead.

I ended 2009–the year of my emotionally devastating return from Japan, subsequent wandering in the (literal and figurative) wilderness, and final settling in an unexpectedly wonderful job and housing situation–with a Duraflame fire and a box of frozen ranch-flavored chicken fingers.
