I have returned.
The lease has been signed, monies have been paid, I am once again officially domiciled in Bagdad by the Bay.
In some respects I’ve come full circle. In February, 1974, the first apartment I had with Daryl was two streets over at 14th and Guerrero. Still just B from the block.

The Safeway by the Mint is my local market once more. I used to visit it often with my booklets of food stamps. Someone told me they now consider themselves the equal of Whole Foods. As if. I intend to avoid it like the plague.

As work begins to establish an imprimatur on the new crib, all I can say is: one more time.
Judy knows how to handle these moments best…….
Great news, Bi! Welcome back! Breakfast sometime soon, eh?
She stole your act. Xo
Which one? The loveable but drug-ridden, alcoholic pixie? Why yes, yes she did. XOXO
Glad to hear you are returning/
Thanks Max. Still neighbors after all these years.
