Made the trip up to Bellingham this weekend to fraternize with
Braden, which was tons of fun. Hadn't been to Bellingham since I moved away from there almost exactly a year ago. Realized, despite sometimes deep nostalgia, Bellingham & I are done with each other. We went to the 2 best parks while I was there, i.e. Boulevard (by the bay, our old livingroom view) and Whatcom Falls (foresty waterfall, with trails). Also I borrowed his guitar, half to help him out so he doesn't have to move it, half because guitars are awesome and I want to learn. Guitars!!
Also, Hava is mulling over getting her own place & living alone for a while. Nothing sad or drastic, I think it's perfectly healthy. Feels like a good thing for all involved. Lots of food for thought in there.
