A decade has past and at last I've returned. Everyone has a city where they feel most at home, a place that fits them so well that they feel a loss when they are away. I lived here for a short time ten years ago and have been trying to find a replacement ever since. After 3 years in Utah I moved to Huntington Beach for a time, sure there's a beach and an ocean but between the tattoos and tourists I couldn't find my space. Newport was closer but still too many rockstars, roller blades and a ridiculous lack of parking space. I got married and we moved inland a bit; first Aliso Viejo and then we left the cool ocean breezes behind and moved to Rancho Santa Margarita, a great town for a young couple with a young family but still not quite home. In the last ten years I've lived in ten different houses in eight different cities and I finally feel at home again. I hope I'm here to stay.
