Get Carried Away

My Mom and I went to see Sex and the City tonight. She'd never seen any of the series so I got her up to speed in about one minute. So interesting that I could summarize six seasons into a short synopsis. The good thing is that Carrie does the same thing at the start of the film and I must say that I was spot-on with the brief histories.


I don't want to spoil anything about the film. Will just say that it left me very confused about marriage and if women in their late 30s, early 40s can "live life on their own" without marriage or a man. Interesting how strongly I identify with Carrie and feel quite shaken by her experiences.

Consistency at Home

As my East Coast tour continues I'm now in Stamford, Connecticut at my parents' house. Every time I come home I notice little bits of changes in Stamford - mostly construction. A house is bigger or missing, a shopping center has new stores or has been painted. Otherwise it always looks pretty much the same. I guess that's what is nice about coming home - consistency.

I Left My Heart in San Francisco...

...and now I'm going to find my heart.

After much soul searching and following my heart I've realized that San Francisco is where I belong. That was where I lived before these three years of adventures through Houston, Connecticut, London and DC. It is where I have been the happiest and now I am going to move back.

So, June 28 open up those golden gates, California here I come! Over the next month I am going to continue my welcome back to America Whistle Stop Tour of the East Coast. Next week in Connecticut and Maine, later in the month in Philly. Then... off to San Francisco via Virgin Atlantic airlines first class. I figured it would be appropriate to have a UK airline take me home.
