Princess Porsche II

"Her back resting against a brick wall, Kristina Koznick sat on a ledge in her brightly colored Team USA jacket, no more than 10 yards from Nagano's bustling Central Square."

"I'm driving in my baby, a 911 Porsche Cabriolet. We buzz past the exits for Newburgh, then New Paltz, slowing down to a sweet hum at Kingston, where we leave the New York State Thruway. It's our last drive together, and although the ride is perfect, my stomach feels like it's grinding gears as we approach Woodstock, where we will say goodbye."

"During the night the Sea Princess had moored in town, a mammoth cruise ship, silver-white from top radar to waterline, portholed and gangplanked and crawled-over with tourists. Jet skis turned foolish insect-loops out in the gray-green waves."
