better than fine
Today's one of those fall Northern California Saturdays that Zeppelin used to write songs about. The leaves are changing colors, the kids are out in their soccer uniforms, the Mexican dude at the gas station--the one I was trying to make eye contact with to thank for washing my windshield, said "my pleasure boss" when I finally blurted out that I appreciated what he had done (and you know when strangers call you things like boss or chief that they're your friend), and finally, the most adorable Fionna Apple blonde girl was working at the Vietnamese bakery, no makeup and her hair pulled back simply--the one white person besides me in the whole place (and one I've been trying to see again after a year of sporadic returns) and she had this little glow in her eye when I thanked her for my blueberry muffin, and dear lord, no headaches or hungover mornings to contend with, and well, this is how peaceful and content a weekend should begin, it might not last but right now it feels so sweet.kingjulien
