Au revoir, Vincent


Stephanie and Vincent's father (pictured above) chat while Vincent and his friend Aaron (not pictured) say good-bye, at 6:15 p.m. Friday. The streaks are from the camera trying to take pictures without flash at dusk, with the main light from Vincent's father's and Vincent's lit cigarettes. After smoking since the day he turned 18, Vincent had quit for several months, but started smoking again this past week. Aaron and Jessi had helped Vincent pack belatedly as he threw books, DVDs, video games, and a few clothes into two duffle bags - and then went back to get the Wii. We wouldn't let him take Frisco.


We've talked with Vincent episodically since then - and he's talked and texted with other Louisville friends (including two different young women). He's stayed and visited with relatives, then moved into a house near Morse and Westerville roads (and Easton) in Columbus: http://columbusoh.apartmentfinder.com/Columbus-Apartments/Thornapple-Apartments-Apartments. Unfortunately, his name is on the lease and the utilities. He's moved in some of his father's stuff and played video games, eaten cookies, and slept some at home.
