Sometimes, I drive with my eyes open.

I walked into Starbucks this morning and the first thing the girls and boys of Starbucks told me was, "Gingerbread is here!" I said, "Right on! Pull me 6 shots and 12 pumps Gingy"

Starbucks' gingerbread syrup and I have been winter lovers for many years. It outlasted my latest boyfriend. Maybe that's what I need, Seasonal Boyfriend, one I can love passionately for about 4 months and have the rest of the year looking forward to see him again.

I followed a sky-blue VW-Bug to work. It was a Turbo-Bug. I took the park route. They are putting up Christmas lights on Christmas Lane. A bit early, if you ask me, but I like the feeling of Christmas, so, no complaints here.

An old man driving a lawnmower. I think he has iPod buds in his ear. He probably is listening to Classical.

I listened to Radar Love by Golden Earring.

At the end of the park, there were movie crews gathering together, probably discussing the line-up of the shots for the day. They were bundled up in sweaters and they have papercups of somehting steamy in their cupped-hands.

It's another day in tinsel town. A beautiful day.
