I Remember College...and California

It was a wonderful 20 year college reunion.  I loved seeing so many people I care about, and haven't seen in person for so long!  It was all a bit overwhelming, seeing them and the campus, that place I lived for 4 formative years, so different now - all those new beautiful buildings!  Campus so much the same as 20 years ago but so different, at the same time. :)

I felt very grateful to be there.  But I also felt that David and I both baked in that very different heat, it was HOT last weekend (god was it just last weekend?!), and it felt like an oven compared to the sauna that we are used to in Florida...just a very different heat.  I have to say, that I don't think I could ever live in California now, but I do remember living there, and how I loved it.  At the edge of the continent...

"I Remember California"

I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this

I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this

History is made
History is made to seem unfair

I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside

Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
A symbol wave I must confide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture

I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things

I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this, this

Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess its just a gesture.

At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
