Back in Sacramento.  I'm sad about leaving Santa Cruz, I really loved it there, but considering the financial strain and this and that...it just didn't make sense to stay.  Wished we could have had a night on the town or something for the last day there, but it just didn't pan out.  Hectic, insomniash, overwhelming-underwhelming goodbye to my ( Read more... )
