Curved Bench Shadow
   
   
 

Being an ex-pat I sometimes wonder if I'll ever return to my mother country; I just finished reading (and loving) The Three Junes with a central character who is from the UK but is living in the US which brought this question up again for me. This mid-March morning I jumped into my car with the top down, cranked up The Darkness (I know Rock isn't cool but, then, neither am I so it's a perfect fit) and thoroughly enjoyed my commute. My only concession to winter is that I sometimes have to run in long sleeves but short sleeves have been acceptable for weeks now. When I hear it has been a little above freezing in the UK recently I can't imagine going back to winters with days of only 8 hours of daylight. I guess, then, I'm resigned to my fate; California has made a wuss out of me.
