I spent the past weekend soaking up the sun and swimming in a warm ocean. It was pristine and reminded me of all the days (I forgot about) that were just that: Sun drenched, sepia toned, and sandy.

On June 29th Grace turned 27 and my San Francisco residency hit 365 days old.

Jazz, Gin Rummy, and Roy Orbison remind me of my Grandfather.

The sunshine lasts longer up here and I wondered if the gold rush had something to do with that.
