The Pitch: It's like Back to the Future meets National Lampoon's Vacation  

Just a real quick shout-out to our peeps--Edi's birthday is tomorrow so we travelled down to Half Moon Bay for the evening. I'm writing this from the Half Moon Bay Library, and have to make it quick because my session expires in about nine minutes. We were last here about two years ago, and we were kind of heartbroken because the big community store in the center of town burned down about thirteen days after I bought a container of marshmallows covered in dark chocolate there.

So we checked into the same divey b&b we stayed at, now done in a new paint scheme (ginger and jaundice--a very Victorian color scheme, I think) marvelled at how the tablecloths in the room had changed but the volume button on the remote control didn't work. We are also able to see the ocean from our balcony, waves on the cliffs and everything. Last time we were there, we both felt we saw some approximation of the ocean but neither of us could remember what exactly we saw: Edi seems to remember some sliver of silver near the horizon, I have the memory of a dank moving swell near the corner of my vision. It's a little like people who see Bigfoot: no mattter how hard we try, we can't quite get our stories to synch up.

I have to sign off now--the library computer keeps telling me so. And there's some unhappy looking teen girls standing around ready to apply a beatdown if they can't get on Instant Messenger. More later. Or tomorrow. Or something.
