This collection of stories is quite good, but it feels dated somehow. I wish I had more time to really think about reactions like that, and do something more than just note them.

Hello litlove, The closest I got to the Pacific was a really fun evening in Venice, at James’ Beach, a restaurant about a block away from the ocean. The rest of the time: inside, no windows, environmental law.
