spent xmas in phoenix which was weird and very un-wintery. but there was in-and-out burger and authentic mexican food, so i was ok. I've been having for reals withdrawals already. i saw a lot of cactus and watched some Band of brothers and Moneyball and went to the zoo but it was closed. and I got slippers and john le carre books and relaxicized.
my flight for DC leaves in 4 hours and to my right a laundry bomb went off where everything i need to pack is supposed to be. and to my left out the window is the g.d. pacific ocean about 100 paces across highway 1. I'm drinking coffee and eating a pastry and i'm also on hold with ATT to disconnect my internet at my old apartment and the hold music is Moonriver. I might be getting a wee bit emotional.
