it feels good to be back in la. The only person bummed about it is Niko. She loved the quiet vastness of Elk Grove so much. Nevertheless, she did great on the flight home. No fussing and no clawing like on the way there. She actually did better than me. Admittedly, I had a spontaneous cry on the plane, which i guess is still happening. Especially Love it when it happens in small, enclosed public spaces. Thinking about my elderly neighbor Tom right now. When i told him that eddie passed away, his immediate response was “that’s life.”
i finally had a whiskey pickle back for the first time and enjoyed it very much. Same with Malört. Same with some other first-time things, Like watching four christmases, Intertwining, and driving down Benton.
