i drove berries down to santa barbara to spend the weekend with her sister and finally saw heasley's apartment. it's typically collegiate shabby chic and value priced (for santa barbara) at almost $1000 a month. i stopped to shop williams sonoma on the way home and my brother called from thailand. his third world existence as an expatriot farmer doesn't agree with him. as we chatted on my cell in a trendy santa barbara store, he told me his new concept of fun is escaping the heat and giant lizards by checking into a nearby hotel room with air conditioning and a bathtub. better him than me.
