Another summer, another vacation is over
It’s September now with the sun and the smell of the clover
Down by the gate we sit and we watch all our friends go by
And pretend we don’t hear the bell that rings through the summer sky

I’m not in the mood for paragraphs and such, so instead you are getting a bullet point recap of my trip. I may not even pay attention to punctuation or verb tense, so steel yourself as I let my grammar slop over.

Drove to Los Angeles, El Segundo to be precise, with Mom.
On the way we stopped for dinner with my Aunt & Uncle in Thousand Oaks, a town I like to call T.O.
Missed Fizzy.
Drinks and a beautiful night on Newport Beach with my friend Janet.
Mom’s High School Reunion.
Caught up with various friends.
Drinks with Pessi and Sweetpea at Good Luck Bar, Pessi’s new hangout, and met Doorboy, her new crush.
Lunch and games with Mom’s high school friends Dorothy and Marci, way down in Oceanside.
Took an aimless but fun drive through Hawthorne, Lawndale, Inglewood and Torrance.
More missing of the Fizzy
Lunch at Southern California’s best deli, Giuliani’s in Gardena.
The long drive North.
Dropped Mom off at her house in Sebastopol.
Home at last. Fizzy!
It was all that and a bag of chips. Hawthorne is nicer then it was when we moved away (not that it could have grown any worse), and overall a good time was had by all. But sleep? Hardly. Maybe 16 hours total over a four night span. I caught up on some of that last night, but am about to go hibernate.

   I can just feel the breeze blowing thru my hair as I drive along the coast in my cadi convertible with the top down.

   Thanks for the info about traffic school. It’s a relief that my insurance rate won’t go up if i attend. Man, I wish I would have thought about pretending I didn’t know she was signaling for me to pull over. But with my luck, the situation would have turned out even worse! P.S. 80’s music ROCKS…it reminds me of my days in elementary school. -Richard

   Is this a man or a woman singing? George Michael – hm … might be both. You should come out to trivia night, one of the categories is music. Paper White was one of the answers. OG! ~PK
