Okay, okay, I'll say it, i'll confess...







....I miss California. But don't tell anyone.



I love WVa. Without a doubt it will always be my number one state. But something about today (and the pollen count) makes me miss the sun beating down in true west coast style on the stucco walls of bolivian cafes and intermittent hippie-shops, where clueless kids wait on bus benches to be taken to home, school, destination unknown and undetermined...fragrant and foreign, the reflection of the ocean on the horizon clashing with the smog of Los Angeles, and the sun sun sun sun....


i'm not a sunworshipper---i'm pale in that unattractive, slightly reddish way (not the beautiful ivory toned redheaded way) and burning is more my specialty than anything else. but what a change sunlight wreaks upon your psyche (and eventually upon your brain---i get headaches so easily from being in merciless outdoor glare.)

I won't move there, though.
