The Girls Depart

The girls got up this morning and sort of lazed around the flat, near death. We didn't leave until around noon. I drove them down to the See's Candy Factory in South San Francisco and let them each put together a custom assortment of chocolates. They chased birds in the parking lot and then we drove down Skyline Boulevard to kill some time before we went to the airport. I showed them where my laptop hit the interstate going 95 mph, crossed all 4 lanes of traffic, and somehow survived. Then, it was back to the airport and they got to their gates ok, although Katarina was under the mistaken impression that I was going to help her find her gate. I was like..."oh no...that's not how we do it. You find your gate...I'm following you." And she found it, no problem. This is how I always do with Jennifer. I'm trying to get her to take in the world around her, instead of just following me. My theory is that it builds confidence. Maybe just a festering resentment. Who can know. I'll miss them of course.

After their planes took off I drove around the city shooting graffiti. I have my old honey spots I return to time and again. What a beautiful city to be trapped in for a spell.
