Not a lot to report other than that my body is here in California but my spirit is still across the Atlantic.
A few observations:
–Heathrow is seemingly incapable of reaching its full potential for absurd horridness. Every time I have the awful luck of passing through its grime covered walls I am astounded by its sickly combination of gawdy advertising, stupid layout, and employees with nasty attitudes. Got to make sure I don't ever go through this airport again.
–California sunshine *is* therapeutic and invigorating.
–San Francisco has the potential to become a creative playground like Berlin. Maybe if the American economy collapses and rents go down, this would happen. I've got my fingers crossed.
–California feels very close to Asia and Germany feels very close Turkey.
–I'm excited about planning a tour for Kunsole in Germany next year! We'd fit in quite well over there.
–I am interested in the idea of rootedness these days, nomadicism is great fun and has been a way of life for me for a while, but to have a space of my own and a connection with the local culture is even more exciting right now. And a sweet man waiting for me makes it even better.
