here comes the rain again

another hurricane is headed for florida! so scary! first charley, now frances. the poor residents haven't even cleaned up from last month's wrath and now they have to prepare for another, evacuate what is left of their homes, cross their fingers, and persevere. oy.

at least the weather in cali has been rockin'. it's been a full week and only ONE day of it was consumed by miserable fog. all the others have been clear, dry, sunny, and perfectly warm. hiphiphooray! there is hope for this miserable little city afterall!

next week though, i'm heading west. i mean east, to the wild wild west. to colorado. to a wedding. to family. to mountains. to fun! it will be a great break. i miss colorado. this time last year, i was packing up my bags to leave it. i was embarking on a few adventure. i was headed to the great unknown...

... and look where i landed! not too shabby, i have to say.

things are looking up!
i've been looking the landscape over, and it's covered with four-leaf clovers...
