For Those of Us Who've Left LA

Everyone leaves LA, sooner or later, sometimes for good, others merely permanently. I've had my own forth and back, from 86-90 and again 97-2003. Steve was there in the 90s. Robin was there very young. Connie still comes back to her childhood home, if only to abandon baggage with friends while visiting the parents across town. And now, Derek and Erica are pulling stakes July 14 and moving to State College, PA, where both will hold forth a few times weekly to Nittany underclassmen. Patrick holds the last remaining vacant guest room in the city for us -- hold on Patrick!

And for those of us who are still on the sugar rush, here's NYTimes article on the KCRW show Morning Morning Becomes Eclectic. It's one of thee few shows KCRW doesn't podcast, but you can pick up the iTunes stream here if you can tune in 9-12am Pacific time.
