...imminent departure for Ithaca, and he discovers an uneaten hamburger in the backseat. A tattered, yellowed copy of “Typology of the Racehorse” lies on top of boots and gear, all reeking of barn musk. His car is a “nice compost pile,” Stilz says...
...life that I analyze—thesis arguments, post-graduation plans, the Yankees’ chances of winning lucky number 27—I’m happy simply to accept Shaq’s Twitter for what it is. Thesis or not, it’s just nice to have this outlet for laughs. And if Shaq ever informs his Twitter following that he is in Cambridge and gives us 10 minutes to find him, you can be sure my friends and I will do our best.

...Airport and took a tuk-tuk (a motorized rickshaw) into town. It was a $5, 45-min., open-air trip on the highway, which probably did bad things to our lungs but helped ease my motion sickness from our wobbly descent to the airport.

...Purple Lounge (at about the midpoint of Serendipity Beach). The town's former main drag, a 10-min. ride northwest of that area, is called Victory Hill. The crowd there comprises mostly older Western men and their young Cambodian companions, which is a little creepy, but we had a nice French dinner...
