Ambivalence

For all my bitching about living in the corner of nowhere, some days I like it here. Like today, when instead of sitting at my desk, I spent the better part of the early morning on a long walk up Mt. Soledad, through some ritzy La Jolla neighborhoods with ocean views, back down the other side and home along a well-traveled and reasonably pleasant bike path. The sun was shining, the sky a crisp blue, and the promise of the weekend was everywhere around me. I have no right to complain. No right.
