Very cool about meeting Oshun. How neat that you two live so close together.
I hope you two have a fun time mooting.

It's not so much that we live close together, as it is that I'm presently
visiting my brother who happens to live in Brooklyn. My actual residence is
China these days where I teach English. But it is cool that she just happens
to live in Brooklyn and all this is happening when I'm here.
