seasons do exist in california
and i have proof

woodencracker who has been the slackiest of the slacksydaisies when it comes to updating Ye Ol' Bloggerooni has finally done so and it is full of Cal-i-for-ni-ay Autumn colors! yeehaw.

today was a surprisingly fun day. i woke up without any real agenda or happenings. me, kb, and daniel-j had breakfast at linnaea's (or lin-nay-nay as kb calls it) (they have the best latte in town i swear to god). lunch with my sister who's got a new job right downtown in the coolest of cool buildings (added bonus: running into a really handsome man whose office is in the same building and my little heart kind of jumped talking to him; i love those little chance encounters). and then the pleasure of driving d-j to santa barbara so's he could catch his plane to montana where he will be building a deck for his brother. kb's outta town too... what to do with myself... new book just picked up. so between that and other little spontaneous weekend goodies, it should be a fun one.

it started to rain on my drive home. big drops of rain. love it.

last night

yesterday was chalk full too. it was all good, but it ended on a high note as we saw patty griffin, dar williams, mary chapin carpenter, and shawn colvin in concert at the pac. it was great. patty rocks. they were all good, but patty takes your breath away and makes your foot tap: a great combination.
