California

Over all those seven years in New England I’ve spoken constantly and longingly about California. Well, now I’m here and there is plenty of getting used to to be had. I think my boxes have all arrived, with just a few things here and there broken. I’m still in one piece, so that’s pretty encouraging. Of course, every day there are endless errands as I struggle to settle. I think I’m almost there.

On the bright side, I have two teaching jobs now, and I may be getting a third. Crazy. Who knew guitar could be so popular.

On the cool side, I hacked apart a dead tree and pulled it out, roots and all. The garden needs work…
There’s an incredible energy here though — a kindness and chill-ness I think I missed during the time I was in Boston and New Haven.
