[Redrum]

Back home where everything doesn't burn quite so enthusiastically. Lotsa great memories, saw an unprecedented number of Stanford home games this fall, and one hell of a respiratory gift from both Southern and Northern California.  Grew up in SoCal and thought the smog and fire smoke from the 50's, 60's and 70's had inoculated me against crappy air.  I was wrong. Boy was I sneezingly but mostly wheezingly wrong. Tore me up and made the flight home a real adventure. But I got to see four Stanford wins...including USC,  so I guess I'll just enjoy breathing my usual Humidity Belt overdose of pollen and count my blessings. Beat Kal!
