22. Norfolk by the Sea

Date: June 16, 1996
Age: 19

I'm on my way to Florida for sabbatical, and I'm going all the way along the coast--no I-95.
Love, Dad

My father may have been leaving for sabbatical, but this is also when he left Delaware, for good. My parents separated in February, 1995, whereupon he moved into an apartment. I never saw it, but I'm sure it was depressing. Leaving for sabbatical, I think he was officially able to start his new life with his girlfriend (now wife).
