Dear Priya,

You are going to laugh when you hear what Marco and I got ourselves into last weekend. I know settling into the new job has kept you busy, but you simply have to hear this one. For years I bragged that I never once needed directions to find my way anywhere, and on Saturday that streak came to an end, with a mud-caked car to prove it.
