Winter in California After All
I told my guy that I just could not take a winter in Alaska. The cold and darkness affects my spirit.
He's promised to visit me sometimes, I think he understands.

North to Alaska
As I contemplate the annual visit to Sitka in late October, I am reminded of how chilly and windy it can be; followed by the Alaskan cold.
At least there's Alaska Ale!
But the confines of the small town give me feelings of being stir crazy by January!
It's hard to find advacados in the winter. And I lust for them, like sex cowgirl-style and fresh strawberries.
And there's nowhere to get a bikini waxing.
Still, there's a plentitude of salmon. Salmon steaks and smoked salmon.
And guitar music.

Just Ramblings
My recent visit to Sitka went well, it guess. The sex was good but no baby. Now I'm at home with Mom and working part-time at her gift shop.
It's too cool for surfing, only early March. The Padres are into spring practice, and things are early blooming.
I think this guy from a store nearby wants me. He gave me a gentle, polite feel in the stockroom seemingly out of courteousness.
I can't make heads or tailes out of sequesteration.
Or much of life.
