This is an excerpt from a journal I kept in 2001.

Just got back from Cheryl and Moshe’s wedding…Amir Lopatin drove me home. Met first time New Years 1998. Like him. Super smart. Constantly thinking/analyzing. Seems really good-hearted. Helped carry my bags. Spent last year and-a-half in Utah as computer programmer. Interesting. Said he missed close Jewish community and was excited to be back. Is cute and wouldn’t mind getting to know him better. Wonder if too cerebral for me…Is definitely funny. Has amazing pale blue eyes. Appears to have little filter…Makes me feel like I know him well and can say anything to him.
