the long and short

Much thanks to Cheryl's LAX pick-up skills. Have you noticed lately that she's a peach?

The result: I am now back in that city of angels that I'm sure missed me more than words during my three week stint to places where winter actually feels like winter.

To be brief. FLG and PHX was a "nice" of the boring variety. In other words: a very needed kind of nice for some one who hasn't taken a vacation in longer than she wants to remember. And NYC was MasterCard priceless. The lower east side apt that G lent me kicked some ass. Also, it came complete with both a big brother and a cousin, who were almost as entertaining as the city itself. Said big brother even threatened to beat up an unnamed suitor, should he fail to meet up to big brother's standards. I felt the love. As well: Julia Farwing was there in some rare form indeed, quoting our subway rides to me over numerous cups of coffee.

Am I glad to be back?
