Free as a Bird "The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory." - Henri Bergson

I get to Sacramento, California - where my parent's live - to find - that yes - THEY had found me: Jury Duty Summons.... I mean how odd is it - that while most of the people important in my life had no idea that I had been in the hospital in Malaysia and then had just recently returned to the States, but somehow, SOMEHOW, the sixth sense of the judiciary arena had foreseen my imminent return and had requested my presence in the court house!

craziness - I tell you - craziness - for I am as unfit as they come to be judging someone else's misdemeanors or violations or whatever they've outlandishly done

because folks – I am now officially a bum – albeit a bum with a twin bed to sleep on in my parent’s apartment – a bum with a new toothbrush and pencil sharpener – but a bum – although I would like to henceforth be known as The Gypsy – who flies by the whim of her pants – or fleeing organs – whatever comes first

for whatever it’s worth I will not be returning to the lovely, ant filled, scooter driven, noodle bowled world of Thailand and until further notice will instead be somewhere in California, most likely northern California territories – rolling balls up and down hills – Yes, this is my new exciting job prospect and if you’d like to hear more about it – I would love to fill you in on the details – especially in person – since I am in country now – again – for the moment – for ever … who knows and would love to see your mugs – well, mugging it, I guess

my bandages are off, I only need one nap a day, and I’m more or less able to hold a full conversation now that I am off the “drugs” – so exciting are these findings that I went on my first “outing” with my newly married friends Matt and Rachelle – we went OUT for 2 hours! It was awesome and then, I had a nap…..

this shall be my last blog addition for awhile since well this is a TRAVEL blog….and I’m well, not really traveling anymore – just a Gypsy – which is different, isn’t it?

so if you want to catch up with me – do it the old school way: email me!
