California, the waning hours

Only a few short hours left before the winds of an old rage drives me East, back to Virginia. Three hours closer to my heart, but away from my home.

I just got back from a lively lunch with old friend Raven West, author of several books, including "Red Wine for Breakfast". We had a good time dishing dirt about people we've known from the AOL Writers Club, as well as Author's Den. A definite high point of my trip.

I qill miss Peri, but it will be good to see the boys.
