Spirit in The Dark

I have always loved Los Angeles. It was my haven when I immigrated in ’89 and again yesterday when I finally escaped Terminal C in Newark. Driving up the 110 it was a little overcast, with lush Cali native plants on both sides…hallelujah! It’s strange to think that I would miss the smell of LAX air, doing the dishes before I make the morning coffee, the cat’s incessant meows for dinner and the noise of the metro passing through Highland Park.

Wonderful Things

Terrible Things

Continental Airlines
Newark airport
800 numbers
Seats with armrests
Snow storms anytime
Drunkards on St Patty’s Day
Corporate brainwashing in action
Walking off a flight home
Missing my dear friend Steven's memorial
Feeling helpless

Despite it all, the good still outweighed the bad. And yes, I can taste my spit again.
