I’m Back from Cali!
It’s always seemed strange to me, on returning from a trip to a new place, that my regular life should remain unchanged when I return. I’ve been to San Francisco, now! I’ve walked through vineyards in Napa! I’ve driven through Berkeley and dined in Sausalito! Over a few days, I experienced temperatures ranging from 90s to 114!! to 60s to crisp 50s. I walked hills and rode trains and took buses. I mean, for the first time, I went to the West Coast!
Yet when I pull into my driveway, on my street, in my town, everything is as it always was. The geography of my weekend didn’t change the landscape of my life. And so it goes.
I have e-mails and blogs and so much to catch up with, not to mention the sleep that I should be getting right now (still on Pacific time, I guess). For now, I give you some photos. Financial reflections to come.
