En Famille

I love my family. But there are so many of them. They are so loud. After two weeks I fled. I drove straight through. The length of I-5 then East on 10 out of the rain and good coffee and Trader Joes to the waste land where liberals hide out in the mountains and good food is McDonalds. But the sky is blue and the sun is gently warm and for now that is enough. I did learn how to have a virtual sword fight with Darth Vader. I also had the brilliant idea of making holders for the scores of new i-Pods that were getting lost all over the place. Then I saw them advertised in the New Yorker. $350. Leather of course. I was thinking quilted silk myself. I drove for 36 hours on coffee and peanut brittle and catnaps once in a while. Probably I am too old but in a way it felt good. Sailors get sea legs. I got road legs. Soon I will re-equilibriate........
