Haven’t been here since I was about 9 I think. This was the place the grandparents would take me & Jimmy when grandpa had a medical convention there. I remember a big old hotel with columns and elevators that my brother and I would chase each other on when we weren’t swimming. David took us with him to the DEMO conference. Bella got to miss school, family emergency we told her: We needed warmth. Bella & I were going to fly back to oakland yesterday at noon, but while driving to the airport to try to get on a later flight, i got notice that our original flight was canceled! And everything for the rest of the day was sold out. So we got another day in the desert and tickets on today’s flight. Meanwhile, at 3 am I get a call from Andre saying he’s in jail. Lovely. And he totaled his car. Lovely. No one else was hurt, thankfully, although he fractured some facial bones. Anyway, back to Palm Springs, oasis of suburbs and golf courses. I love how every place is *heated* — even though it’s the warmest spot in the US in the winter. Night temps drop to all of 50, and the stores all turn the heat on. I love it.
