jerri wrote to me and said they would LOVE LOVE LOVE for me to come and house/dog sit. i was thinking about it just now, and realized i’ve become a really really good dogsitter because of my vast experience housesitting for amy and jim’s three dogs (two of them completely insane and the other one very needy) and four cats.

it’s fun, but it’s a little like living at the zoo.

i, personally, have never lived in an actual zoo.

so anyway, i don’t know exactly how or when, but sometime in the not too distant future i’m going to be TWENTY MINUTES FROM THE BEACH! i can’t even begin to describe how great this feels.

and i’m just going to HANG OUT THERE IN DOWNTOWN LA.

wow. walk to the museum. amazing.

there are usually only about four people walking around in downtown la at any time. well, not during the weekdays, but like any big city, downtown dies after people go home from work.

i’ll have a big dog to protect me. brooklyn.

and brooklyn…doesn’t realize how lucky she is (she? are you positive about her being a she?), because i’m such a VERY QUALIFIED dogsitter.

back to la.

i thought nothing could top yesterday in terms of volume and breadth of sheer surprise. not to mention spanning the whole entire day.

today. did.

la. beach. sushi. sunshine.

i don’t have a lot of friends back in la. not so many.

a few old boyfriends.

hmm, there’s always the dog to hang out with.

brooklyn.

ok then,

grace,LA in my very near future.
