So months go by and the voucher fades to the back of my mind, and then I get a call from my friend Jamie Fuller, who asks, “Did you use that voucher yet?” So we started planning, and the result was a trip to California to visit our friends the Kinds (also on my “favorites” list).
The trip included many adventures, many fantastic meals, many early mornings playing tennis, and a near-perfect trip up the coast to from L.A. to San Francisco…
Near-perfect… driving up the 1 was stunning. The views were unlike any I had ever seen. Who would’ve thought over 12 hours of roadtripping would be as enjoyable as it was? And the time in San Francisco was great. Despite the cloudy day, we had a great time riding our rented bikes all over the city and struggling when it was time to go up the steep hills. But during the drive up, one of our many stops along the road was centered around a spontaneous hike out towards the cliffs, and had I known that I was about to hike into poison ivy, I would’ve, at the very least, replaced my flip-flops with shows… maybe even replaced my shorts with long pants… or maybe I would’ve chosen not to take the walk due to the knowledge of my extreme allergy to poison ivy. But all of those options were not considered because the poison ivy wasn’t noticed. And because I was oblivious to the poison ivy, there was no reason to was my feet off right away, so I soaked it all in. Anyway, it was bad. It was uncomfortable to say the least. And not being comfortable for more than a week made it hard to sleep for more than a week. But I’m doing better now, its just after a couple weeks of staying up later and later every night (because I wouldn’t fall asleep until I was beyond tired), my sleep schedule has been way off.
And so now I’m better, but I’ve become a night owl, and I don’t like it. Anyway, it’s an excuse to catch up with some writing. And so I’ll be starting up something which I’m stealing from my friend Sammi, who stole it from my friend Mandy. So for 30 days I'll be writing a lot of stuff that few will find interesting. Whatever...
