Mass Exodus
As of just a few hours ago, I surrendered my Massachusetts driver's license to the good people at the Nevada DMV (even though I continue fighting the urge to call it RMV. Take the girl out of Boston, ey? ha!).I am officially a resident of the Silver State. As is my car. Not the Beetle I've dreamed of for so long, but some scars stay with us.
I'm still getting used to the idea that I FINALLY live in a warm weather climate. Today was flip-flop weather....in early February!!! The temperature change was so weird for this northern girl, I had a hard time remembering the date. It's a problem I'm sorta digging.
I've had quite a bit of time to myself in the past few days. That means plenty of time to catch up on the neglected and watch a bunch of girl movies. It's like visiting old friends. Last night, Bridget Jones. Tonight, it's the ensemble from Love Actually. And doesn't it start off quite nicely, with that cad Hugh Grant's voice over at the security gate?

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world,
I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport.
General opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed
I don't see that.
Seems to me that love is everywhere.
Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy but it's always there.
Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives,
boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.
When the planes hit the Twin Towers,
none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge,
hey were all messages of love.
lf you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Does it get any better? Yah. Try the final scene. I feel more like me already.
