CALIFORNIA, February 2008. Dear Jesus: Thank you so much for inventing the land of California. I mean, I love Canada and all that, but I can't say I miss the winters. I went for a nice three hour walk this afternoon, without a jacket, and it's February. Last year in Toronto, it was so fucking cold, I had to wear two bunnyhugs and a parka just to walk to the end of my driveway to get the mail. (Sorry I said *fucking*, my Lord. But you remember what it was like. Just click this FEBRUARY 2007 link to refresh your memory.)
