Rochester, NY Greece’s ‘seeker’ returns home – for now October 21, 2004 He’s busy writing a book about his travels and plotting part two of his soul-searching adventure. By MELISSA LANG / mlang@mpnewspapers.com Andrew Harrison spent five months on the road, living out of a car and acquaintances’ guest quarters, interviewing people from all walks of life and amassing more than 80 tape-recorded conversations – and he did it all so you won’t have to. “My goal is for people to realize, ‘Man, there’s more to life than just working...

Rochester, NY Wow. I am not a Red Sox fan. I am not a Yankees fan. I am a sports fan. To see a team and a city that needed to win so bad come back from near demise to win 4 straight, it was something to see. On my trip I saw a game in NY. I saw a game in Boston. The fans of Boston needed that win. New York expected it, Boston needed it. My dad and I satyed up and watched this game, and the last one, and the one before that. It’s been fun to do that. Now the question is can they get rid of the curse? 4 more to go.

Rochester, NY 9:05 AM When you get the chance to do what you enjoy, it’s a good feeling. I enjoy sports and eating. I excelled at that all day Sunday. I stopped at the store and picked up a couple of bottles of wine for the hosts. Ryan’s parents welcomed me into their house as if it were my own. The spread was magnificent. There was chicken wing dip, cheese and crackers, bread bowl dip, some beers, and of course the NFL. Ryan and his dad are Dolphin fans. I think his mom is a Bills fan. That game is a big rivalry up here. We snacked, and then the steamed clams were ready. There were tons...

Rochester, NY 11:30 AM I type this with a tickle in ym throat and some pancakes on the stove. Dad left me the batter before they headed to church. Fall has hit in upstate NY. I played golf earlier in the week. Now it’s grey and cool. The leaves are pretty though. I went back down to Letchworth State Park on Monday. Took some great pictures and put a few on the site. There is an article in the paper this morning about a guy from my high school who was killed in Iraq. He was 22. I’m not sure if I knew anyone who had died over there. I didn’t know him, but he walked the same halls I did...
