We're Off The Rails.

Jackie wants me to go without a negative thought...

shoot.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars.

This past week has been crazy, to say the least.

I had a fabulous time with friends both Saturday night, and Sunday night. I chose to stay up Sunday night instead of sleeping before catching the train at 645 am. So I stayed up chatting and packed my bag around five am. Taking the train by myself was fabulous. Everything went smoothly and the train was relaxing, beautiful, and made me feel optimistic for so many reasons.

The train was crowded to I sat by one person from SB to LA and another from LA to SD. Both were interesting, though I talked to the second person more. She was fascinating. She must have been in her seventies. It was clear that she has lived fully and continues to. Regarding having time to do everything she said "You know, I'm probably in the last third of my life...and if you break it down I'm probably in the last fourth of my life, but that's okay" she still is so optimistic and has so many plans. 

Sarah and her family picked me up at the station, then Sarah and I went on a walk and caught up on life. Once at the house, we ate dinner. I then took the public transportation (metro? eh?) all by myself in a city i had never been to. And you know what? I got to my destination safely. I visited with my friend for two hours, and managed to catch the last...."trolly" at 1138 pm. There were some sketchy people, and some sad cases, but it was a good experience and just makes me anxious for this coming year.

In the morning I slept. Then we went to some museums in Balboa Park. From there we went straight to the station and Sarah rode back with me. Long story short we took a bus from SB to SLO and met Glasses Boy, an English prince named William. We passed notes to him until finally we just sat and talked. He is on a voyage, on his gap, with his friend who sleeps covered in newspaper. Chemistry boy vanished.

A fabulous end to the trip. 

Sarah and I then went to Dennys around one am.

That is my way of summing up my crazy life at this point. Details must be left out.

I hope you all are well.

Goodnight.

love.love.love.
