All Fancy-Like<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s a foggy and crisp evening here in America’s Finest City (as opposed to America’s Finest Village, which is different) and I’m reminded of a dinner party in Hillcrest at the home of my gracious and lovely writing partner. What class, I thought. She was renting a lovely bungalow at the time and I was living in a crap 70s apartment. Her neighborhood was a little dodgy (okay, a lot dodgy) but my block in Pacific Beach was full of drunk college freshmen trying to untie the apron strings.<\/p>\n

If you blink, you might have missed the intervening dozen years. Sure, she’s now in a, um, mid-century ranch style in another city, but I’m back in a crap 70s building. My new place has been fully Jed Clampettized® though—complete with ce-ment pond! It’s got purty brass fixtures and real fine swirly textures on the ceiling.<\/p>\n

Fantastic.<\/p>\n

Part of me says that I’m not supposed to be in this spot at this time in my life. Another part, the more rational part, has a clearer view. There’s a reason for this, I just don’t know what. Yet.<\/p>\n
