the sun!

I was working on a post, which I figuratively tore up two times, about the extinction of really good men. I was thinking of the things I could say on the drive this morning, and realized that the sun has finally come out. I mean this in the literal sense. I think it's been raining or drizzling and otherwise gloomy and gray for most of a week. I was tootling along, listening to my morning show, laughing at the fact that some poor 19 year old has never kissed a girl, and I saw the glisteing green hills on 680.

This is why I love California in the winter and spring. When it does rain, all the cattle grazing goes this incredible green. It looks like velvet with play-trees stuck on. There was no haze, just blue sky and green hills. Usually I just zone out, but I actually noticed something outside myself this morning, and as made happier as a result. And I mostly avoid the sun, on account of death white skin... but today I may just go out and bask for five minutes.

somehow I don't much care about the extincion of real men. In fact, I had a meeting with the theatre group I worled with last summer, and they want me to paint two shows, and will work around my schedule. Amazing. Spring really is busting out everywhere.
