Came and Went
The holidays were all a blur of unpacking and last-minute shopping, with very little fanfare, and a wild card stomach infection to spice things up a little. All in all it was pretty pleasant (bar the stomach cramps, and serious aversion to anything with more flavor than a drink coaster). We drove back down towards LA on New Year's Eve, having missed the boat on some rather wild Joshua Tree festivus due to some tired brake pads, and equally as exhausting mechanics in Monterrey. We decided to stop off in Pismo beach, sit in some hot springs, get a massage, eat a big Italian dinner, walk on the beach, pop a bottle of champagne and then fall soundly asleep, fully clothed before finishing a single glass.
Hope that this new year is more fruitful than daunting. Best of luck,
