Hello, Hello... (I don't know why you say goodbye)

Hello Dear Loved Ones (and the occasional Stranger or two)!

A hectic five days and 2500 miles has come to a final crash-landing end in my new digs in the City by the Bay.

Since I have left the only place I have known as home for the majority of life, my journey has already been blessed with a colorful taste of what life outside Granville has to offer. I've had time again to read On The Road, get a coffee addiction and a suntan on one side of my body as we forged westward to look for America. Simon and Garfunkel would be proud.

Allan did most of the drive, for which I am thankful and no doubt he is too, or else our trip would have been considerably waylaid by stopping off at every roadside attraction and iconic detour that appealed to me. But his new job dictated our time table and I was resigned to be content with our brief detour through Boulder, CO (and a memorable jaunt down Pearl street).

I am still adjusting to my new life in a different time zone and giving myself permission to be patient to that end. Our place is on the edge of Golden Gate park which has helped my transition into the city feel less claustrophobic. The fragrance at night is a scent strong with nostalgia I won't soon forget.

And before this chatter gets so long that people stop reading, I just wanted to say “Hi” (as does Alan, between the ambivalence of joy and hitting the ground running) and let you know what I am up to... in its vague birth stages. I will share more when it develops.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled internet.
