Not a PET

... yet.
I flew from South Korea to New York in late September.
I just spent 3 weeks in Brooklyn.
I flew to Houston today, and will be here for about a week.
Next week I will begin a major road trip.
In this order, I will drive to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois (maybe Iowa), back to Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, back to Brooklyn, and then to Massachusetts.
At least fourteen states over about a two month period.
I will be back in Brooklyn before Christmas, where I plan to stay until early spring 2024.
Then will head back to Korea for a while longer.
I will visit more than a dozen colleges and universities on my road trip.
Some of the big ones will be... The University of Arkansas, Arkansas St. University, University of Tennessee, University of Kentucky, THE Ohio St. University, University of West Virginia, Penn St. University, and Harvard University.
No LSU this time.
Sorry, Jsc.
I would like to meet you, and will have to do so another time.
Perhaps I will put a PET up at some point in the journey.
We'll see.

You're welcome at The Ohio State University as long as you keep your mouth shut.

If you make it to the District, make sure to holla. Would be great to meet the real life Dan Vogel! We can meet at the FBI HQ.

Oh Chip, so naive. He is spreading the tentacles of his cult no doubt.

I will just clip the southeast corner of Missouri, dave.
I have been to KC twice, but will have to make my
third KC visit another time.

lol
My wife was in DC a couple of months ago, while I was still in Korea.
If I get to the District again, it will probably be in 2024 or 2025.

Why are you going to all of those colleges and universities? Is there a junior Poptart about to head off to college?

Yes, it is a missions trip, and the universities are important.
I am commissioned to America as a missionary.
I am a pastor.

And you seem like a pretty nice dude. All the more reason why I’m saddened you choose that path.

I'm an ordained minister. We should team up. It would look a little bit like this:

Kudos to you for having a life with purpose.
Some day if you get out west bring Dan Vogel and straighten these mormons out.

It was necessary for me to stay in Houston for a month, which was far longer than I anticipated.
We began our trek north this week.
Visited Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Interesting.
Visited Tulsa University.
Visited Arkansas University.
At least three more schools are on tap for next week.
There are some pics, but nothing really PET worthy.
Just pics of me standing somewhere, or talking to someone.
I will end up in Chicago at Thanksgiving.
Perhaps I will treat you to some pics of me... standing, or talking.

I spent some time with a Mormon at Tulsa University and also spoke to one at Arkansas University.
Both were nice gentlemen.
I did not give them a ---> link <--- to this board.

Smart.
Keep a very low profile in Chicago.
