Yesterday was one of those days. You know what I mean, right? Things just...don't go right. The autumn rains of the Pacific Coast have most definitely arrived. Gumboots, rain jackets, umbrellas.

The rain poured down, the lights… Continue reading E.R. – Embarassed Reflections on an Emergency Room Visit
