Little Fish

Moving to a new city is exciting! fascinating! chaotic! and wicked lonely at times. I'm lucky, I have a few friends here (okay, two) and those friends have oodles of friends, so in time. And although the working at home is functioning from a productivity/stress level angle, it doesn't help with the physical human need.

I'd like to thank my cell phone company for their friends and family plan. I'm able to talk to my sister in LA, equally lonely, anytime, for as long as I want.

I think I will enlarge of picture of my sisters head, put it on a Popsicle stick and take her and the cell phone to Sun Liquor (the website is oddly nothing, except the image of a coaster). They have happy hour from 5-7 and serve a drink called Punetazo - a mix of light and dark rums, orange juice, pineapple juice and coconut nectar, topped with spiced, aged 151. Add some sunscreen and I'm simultaneously on a catamaran in Barbados with Jen and Karl.

So I could be there, in Seattle, but also with my sister and two incredible DC friends. Yes, another option is to actually talk to the person at the stool next to me, instead of a head on a stick and memories triggered by too much coconut rum.
