"Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. . . . Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. . . . Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia."(E. L. Doctorow)

Finally some warm weather!

Sorry, I have been missing in action for some time. I must confess the most exciting thing to happen to me lately was getting stranded in California. Those who know me personally understand how insanely active I am. I had already planned to go to San Francisco the Memorial Day weekend but had caught the most annoying cold. Thought well, there goes the mini vacation!

Should have know that I would encounter destiny beating on my door. Not being one to verify road conditions other than to ask a family member. I head out the door cold and all to deliver a puppy to Colfax, California. Oh, brother is putting it mildly when out of the blue as I reached the top of Lake Tahoe a sign was posted to slow the speed to under 40 miles. Thought so much for roaring up the hills. Following the directions ran head long into a blanket of white low clouds talk about threw rain, sleet and snow to get this puppy to its new owners. Started thinking what if they close the roads, shit and I didn't pack anything but myself and the puppy and her mom (Peanut).

Of course, you realize I was unable to get back home. So, there I was surrounded by trucks and cars and my chains had been thoughtfully removed out of my vehicle. Hm, I started to think as I called my friends in San Francisco. I took a vote and drove straight home to San Francisco. Oh, God what a beautiful drive that was as I crossed the Bay Bridge granted it was sprinkling but you know who cares. I was loving this crazy trip windows rolled down and music blaring. I just couldn't get over the beauty of the big golden moon dancing in the sky greeting me as I whipped threw the bridge.

I must confess, it was the most fun time I have had with my friends and uncle. We did so much in the days I was there. Cold or no cold I wasn't about to lay low. Hell no, we took peanut with us everywhere and just talked about all the fun times we shared in high school even hit the church we all attended. Had to laugh, got my car and my lip gloss what else could I possibly need. So, with this adventure in mind this came to mind "Insanity is the basis of all humanity". Have a great month see you soon.......... ;)

Oh, they loved the puppy and I got several text messages from the family. Made me laugh what a week!
