Once again i am housesitting in venice very close to the beach. it's nice. i drove up the coast today on my way home instead of hitting the freeway - went behind the airport rather than in front of it. the water was fierce. skyline relatively clear. could see all the way to malibu and beyond. if it weren't cool, well by the time i get back to the city the sun is almost down, i would go and hang out for a few minutes on the sand. maybe tomorrow i'll sit and watch the sun disappear behind the ocean.
