LA Trip a Success!
I spent the last weekend in Sunny Los Angeles, and it shows. My neck and arms are BRIGHT red, and feel hot to the touch. It’s the first time I’ve thought of using the word “sere” to describe skin. It’s the byproduct of the car rental place upgrading you to a convertible. Which was awesome. […]
