today i was remembering

laugher-filled and kiss-dotted scrabble games. turkey sandwiches and pinot grigo. loading my grandparents' picnic basket with cheese and fruit, putting the top down and getting LOST.

i was remembering

those balmy sunsets
the angelica
cafe japon
unhinged productions
margaret cho
roundtop
austin
kurt & courtney
and chai tea.

i was remembering you today.
