Oh! You touch on one of the other things I meant to put in this post--Sam's lack of dreaming . . . Dreaming also being closely connected to the soul.

I read about your adventures in the big city! I will say that driving in a big city by myself makes me very nervous. The nice thing about NYC was that it was mostly walking (no driving at all), and Geo had already been there and knew where we were going, so I could watch the pretty lights.
