An east coast friend remarked on the “touchy-feely” nature of my recent blogs. And maybe that’s a reflection of my status. Because at some point two years ago, I crossed over an invisible line– I have now lived in California longer than I have NOT lived in California. Which I figure makes me officially a […]
