There are times when I get fed up with living in SoCal. San Diego is a redneck military town that refuses to grow up and act like a real metropolis. There are the LA wannabes who walk around in designer clothes, go broke buying the latest gadgets and giant gas-guzzling cars, and get interest-only mortages on homes they can't afford. And then big pharmaceutical companies move their R&D jobs-- the ones I want in target identification and drug development -- back to company HQ on the east coast. All that stuff sucks.

But then, I go surfing after work with my buddy and even though there aren't many waves we hang out in the lineup shooting the shit as the sun sets. And a small pod of dolphins swims by 20 feet from us. And then I feel lucky as hell to live where I do.

I'm still on my Veronica Mars fic bender.
Here's the newest one that's caught my attention. Post season one, Logan POV. Nice characterization, a little bitter, a little sweet.
