winter in Los Angeles

We visited LA for a visa appointment and a book launch and to catch up with good friends. I also swam laps, hit up some gay AA, ate some tasty things, rode the bus, hiked a canyon. The sun shone and shone with gentle exuberance. At the pool, it was warm enough to change back into just shorts and T-shirt once I was done swimming. I loved it and was sad to leave.
