  Something! It was so nice out today (even in San Diego, January can be harsh and uncooperative) I actually went to the beach by myself for the first time.
I'd been meaning to, since pretty much everyone I know says "you don't go to the beach??? " in wildly incredulous tones. Now I can say yes, yes I do, and I am the pastiest corpse-like person for miles. But that's okay, it was on the chilly side anyhow so I kept the old t-shirt on and just read some Civil Procedure for a couple hours.
It really wasn't all that eventful, now that I think about it, but it was a mental event in that I drove all the way out there and such. Anyone who knows me (and you know me pretty well if you know about this here blog) knows I'm not a very outgoing chap, so I was pretty proud of myself for going. Plus, I didn't die, so maybe I'll do it again someday. Then when I got back I had a nice email from a law school friend of mine telling me to go outside and try not to mope too much.
That's the kind of thing that brightens your day - unexpected messages that wish you well. Oh, and just to stick it to ya'll on other coasts, it was about 80 degrees and sunny today. That is unusual, even for San Diego, so no climate-related promises when folks visit.
