Today is my one-year anniversary in San Diego. Did I think I’d make it a year? Actually, no. But I did, and it’s been an incredible twelve months.

For a few weeks now, I have been so busy! I’ve even been too busy to post a Must Read/See/Hear update; there’s just so much going on, like moving, finding a job, and attending boatloads of events.

There are plenty of reasons I should leave Boulder. Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong. Other times I just think it would be easier to find a job elsewhere. And even more miserably, dating doesn’t come easy in this town.

I have this theory that, by this time of year, spring friskiness and summer naïveté wear off.

So, I realize that a lot of you reading this blog entry might just be big-time Valentine’s Day-haters. Well… in a way, I am, too. But that isn’t going to keep me from arguing that perhaps there is something valuable in Valentine’s Day.
