South of Sunnyside

I’m under two weeks away from an event that comprises my largest responsibility at work, but I’m taking a few days to get away…to my aunt’s wedding in Baton Rouge.

I’m ready (I think?) for the event, but stress has been accruing for some time. And it’s good to get away sometimes—I hear it can help to renew appreciation for Fresno to get away. I’ve forgotten that California’s restrictions on little things like smoking in buildings greatly improves quality of life for non-smokers; say what you want about Fresno’s air quality outside, I’ll take it over the smell of stale smoke any day (and won’t be surprised if I return with a sinus infection).

Oh, and that new cell phone law: I appreciate it now, after riding in a rickety 15-passenger van while the driver talked on hers. Is it too much to ask that at least one of the wheels be in balance?
