Spent today in Ocean Beach - swam in the Pacific (very briefly!) for the first time. 79 degrees, though the water was cold. Still, as good a beach day as you could hope for in January in the Northern hemisphere. At the airport now, getting ready to take the red-eye back to the East Coast. Supposed to be around 15 degrees in Baltimore Friday. Damn.

Glad the airport bartender told me it's not always so nice and warm here in January - else I'd never leave!

Island (P.S.)
by Aldous Huxley
Powells.com
Huxley's final novel is his antidote to Brave New World, an attempt to describe a radically sane society. Like Brave New World, it's a didactic look at the possibilities of human societies -- don't look for deeply drawn characters or for intricate plots, it's all about the setting. Island was popular with the 1960s psychedelic movement, and if Leary and company had paid better attention to it, things might have gone much better.
