on becoming...the american dream(er)

i am now officially a licensed and registered california driver and resident. my car, oliver, has now been officially stripped of her colorado roots and engendered with california plates.
its a somewhat mournful experience on my part, especially when the man at the DMV asked me if i was a broncos fan or a chargers fan, my answer wavering due to the fate of a passing score. but i'm equally delighted because of all the possibilities i see on my west-coast-horizons.
