The Last Day In LA


06/16/06 -- just three different digits, but a whole lot of value. That was my last day in LA. I walked out of the elevator of my office building in downtown Los Angeles, got into my truck and drove out of the city forever. Just like that I kissed smog-filled days goodbye. You don't move to Los Angeles, you end up there. And we'd had enough. Enough of the traffic, the pollution, the crowded seemingly endless expanse of urban sprawl. There's just something about LA. Even the postcards are depressing.

So we're not going back. We hit the road tomorrow bound for the East Coast and beyond. The whole world awaits. I don't want to see those LA freeways for a long long time...

    "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move, to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot..."

    -- Robert Louis Stevenson

    "The mere animal pleasure of traveling in a wild unexplored country is very great...the effect of travel on a man whose heart is in the right place is that the mind is made more self-reliant; it becomes more confident of its own resources."

    -- David Livingstone

    "The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
