Right?

Specifically we are in "Marina del Ray adjacent,"one little nook of Venice which is a little cranny of Los Angeles. I know on my last visit I was harshing on SoCal a bit, but we are having a great time visiting Richard and his roomate Paul. They both use this expression where if they agree with something, they say "Right?"with a heavy rhetorial questioning tone. It's the abbreviated version of "I know, right?" like you'd say if someone commented to you, "It's so cool that Obama got elected!" It feels great to back in the Dolphin (Richard calls it the "Tuna Fish" which we find pretty insulting:) and we had a little party in it last night. Remember 4 people constitues a party in there! Today we had to run up to Santa Barbara to fetch something we forgot and made a fun day of it. We missed any major traffic backups and made it back to Venice this evening in time to go to the new Whole Foods Market. It was enormous, with a full on Indian food buffet, dessert bar, and sushi chef! We got the fixins and came home and grilled salmon and veggies on the BBQ. Now we are digesting, watching TV in HD and tending to our individual Facebook accounts. Manana we continue down Hwy 1 to San Diego and then to the desert of Joshua Tree National Park.

I hope you two waved to my favorite place to live (besides Westhaven) as you drove past -- San Juan Capistrano used to be totally magical; I lived there for 9 years when Julia was small. Joshua Tree is a very powerful place; hope you find some nice magical spots to bask in!
