I feel a bit like Alice having just emerged from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

Popping my head up above the hubbub and wondering "which end is up?"

It is a green tea morning here, jasmine scented and organic of course.  We are betwixt storms of wonderful proportions.  The kind that blow horizontal rain and make you feel wonderful when you realize you can stay snug inside.  Truly lovely weather.

Ysabella and I took advantage of the clearing and walked to City Hall, over to the lake and then back by Whole Foods before heading back homeward bound.  It's lovely to have so much nearby.  In the early hours of the morning the drug dealers still seem to be asleep from their commercial activities of the evening past. hmmm

Me, I simply pretend that once again, I am visiting a friend back in Amsterdam.  It was a similar sort of thing.

So, just in case you missed my latest news flash - I'm now living in the Bay Area.  I'd landed temporarily with a college acquaintance but have since relocated to a more central location. 

All is unpacked and sorted and put away and now it is time to fully enjoy all that this wonderful area has to offer including my new friends.

Yours,

The Urban Cliff Dweller
