...Europe for the summer, taking his meager English teacher’s pay and using it all on a flight and two months of living abroad. He likes to tell us that back then nobody could e-mail you money and credit cards didn’t exist. I heard him recounting this once again to my college roommate who had come to stay the night at my house in Brooklyn the day before we would begin our own escape...
