Today's Daily Double is... pine trees vs palm trees!

day after christmas, still in miami, belly full of leftovers. christmas in cary north carolina meant loblolly pines standing black against a gray sky, frost on the lawn that was gone by ten, sweet tea in december (sweet tea has no season). down here it's palm fronds in a warm wind, lizards doing pushups on the patio rail, and the ocean two blocks away acting like it's june.

al's south and my south are two entirely different souths, hers has plantains and dominoes and cafecito, mine has biscuits and acc basketball on in the other room, and both of em are louder and warmer than anything I found out west.

i used to think homesick meant one home. now the boat pulls from one coast, the pines pull from the other, and al's people pull from down here. that ain't homesickness, that's wealth. anyway the second plate of leftovers was goooood
