bean and i got some time to walk and talk. we finally broke out the gigantic umbrella that was left in my car by a mad-scientist near the mexican border. that's another story.
we shared pizza at their b&b and then watched "so you think you can dance" with great intensity. they are quite the team them carroll womens. they cracked me up and i love them bigtime!
a few days later i ran into pez man.
he was rad and reminded me of our college housemate CJ and his immense pez collection. lauren and i lived with him and a few other boys at the ben and jerry's literature house in college which was an interesting mix of violent wrestling, philosophical reasoning, bass playing, johnny cash serenades, flea infestations, and other domestic anomalies for two girls who like order. it was good for us.
it will be another couple of weeks until you'll hear from me as i'm going on vacation tomorrow. clearly i'm having a little insomnia because i'm afraid i won't wake up at 5 am to get to the shuttle on time. i am very excited, but will miss n something terrible and he me. we've had a terrific week together watching old movies and visiting after work. his dad will be back to care for him tomorrow. i'll be going to my favorite place- n's grandpa's cabin on the yuba river in sierra gold country. it's like going back in time and it's a magical place to rest. my dad's gonna pick me up in sacto tomorrow and i'm mighty excited. i'll also see my feebird, cho, wally and have a whole week with my mom. jd and maria will care for n and that's a huge blessing. many of you have been a part of getting me there and also for having maria come to help on the home front. for that i thank you very, very much. see you in a couple of weeks!!!
