Back in the USSA
Happy New Year! Wishing you all you will for 2005!
January, when it’s cold outside, is always a good month to catch up on things. For my part, I had to interrupt my sabbatical in order to take care of some business. Just returned to LALAland to deal with INS, IRS, DDS a few days ago. Fun 
Also have some even more fun events planned. A poetrysoup, a CCC event, some readings, art related meetings and more… and, of course, just plain catching up with people I haven’t seen in a while.
Of course, I was hoping for sunshine and warmth, but am experiencing record rains. It’s lovely, though; the plants seem to love it, and the air feels fresh and clear (always nice in LA). Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day after more than two weeks of pretty much continous downpour. At this point I am ready for it, although it was pretty romantic to sit in the studio with a fire going listening to the rain outside.
Since I got back, I have already gone through all the US food groups I have been missing: on top of the list Sushi, of course, then Indian, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Fatburger, Domino’s Pizza, and more… It is so amazing that there are all these cultures mingling in this country, and at the same time nobody seems to be getting along with the US. Strange, isn’t it?
Wishing you all a most peaceful 2005!
