My spur of the moment bus trip up North is going quite well. Got to meet a chat friend from Australia and her sister who were here for a few days during their cross-country vacation. Very nice people. I love meeting net friends, barely any of them have been psychos yet! 
Aside from the usual touristy places and such, we also went bowling last night. Now, I don’t normally enjoy bowling that much, but in those newer bowling alleys with the music and the lights and the whole disco thing going on, it’s a lot more fun. Of course, it’s also a lot of fun when you’re with cool people. Oh and I rolled the highest game of the night at 132! (yeah yeah, not exactly a high score, but still…)
Every time I come up here I get the urge to move here. It’s so nice and calm. I like all the little hills and changes in elevation. Living most of my life in Miami has made me accustomed to a totally flat world. I also like that there are trees everywhere. And not just the types of trees that are planted by the city and look like they don’t really want to be there, as in Miami.
On the other hand, I’ve never been here in the dead of winter with snow everywhere and temperatures far in excess of anything I’m used to.
I am now headed out of this wacky thing they call a “basement” and go try to get some writing done.
Trees are cool!
