If only. 

argh

Don’t know what it is about this fine August day but I miss San Francisco so badly right now.  

Could be the half-dozen weddings that are set to take place there this fall, between dear friends, all of which I will not be attending due to my resolve not to drop thousands of dollars flying cross-country and staying in the most expensive city on the West Coast even for a few days, now my former home.  

Could be the strange taste-nostalgia I have for a bakery in Noe Valley that I probably haven’t visited in several years.  MAN they make a killer caramel and sea salted-chocolate cupcake.  

Even looking at the weather and seeing that it is a good 15-20 degrees warmer here in Vermont than it is there, nothing is helping me.  I JUST NEED A TIME-TRAVEL MACHINE to go back there and have it be the same as it was when I lived in Alabama Street and was not yet such an adult, living in Vermont with a car title and plans to one day own a home. Both impossibilities when I lived the carefree California life!  

adoring masses

for those billions of readers I’ve certainly amassed by now: I’ve been very productive and in fact have been working like crazy to get licensed as a Financial Advisor.  I’m taking a big test in three days time.

Working my arse off means that my obsessive nature has ramped up and is coupled with a marked increase in escapist fantasies.

I can’t stop and don’t want to stop:

-listening to Miike Snow (like over and over)

-dreaming of Stockholm

-watching Daniel Craig movies. 

There are worse vices in the world I suppose.  These are mine, currently.

I have some excellent news coming soon…
