Whew! What an ordeal!

Yeah. I am back. I finally figured out my username and password, so I could write in my blog again. Typical. I was so excited about creating this thing, and then I forgot about it. I didn't record the details. So much has happened between now and the last time I wrote. I went home to SC for my Dad's long-time girlfriend's induction into Clemson University's Hall of Fame. It was my first time back home from LA since March. I had never been away from home for that long before. I was quite homesick before I left. And then I realized that LA is my new home. I belong out here despite the fact that for the first 30 years of my life, I lived as a Southerner. I am really a Pacific Westerner. It is interesting and relieving to learn where your body is meant to be.
