6:29pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Palm Desert, California, USA, Tuesday evening, February, 21, 2023. Took my daughter to school this morning. Then I unloaded the car at the Dana Point apartment and answered emails. Shortly after noon, I headed east and came back to Palm Desert. For a second, it felt like I hadn’t been here for a while. Then I remembered: I drove through Palm Desert yesterday, and even stopped for a short break! I have been driving so much I am losing track of where I have been and when. For the rest of this week I am staying out here then heading back to Chandler for more packing and moving.
