CALIFORNIA HERE I COME!

[Ellen Forradalom]

It's official! I'm going to be a Californicator in a few short weeks! They extended an offer I couldn't refuse, and I didn't refuse it!

I'm gonna need a goodbye from my Chicago homies and a big warm hello from my new SoCal comrades-in-arms!

26. Very cool, Ellen

You'll have to check out Ojai, if you haven't already. It's right over the hill from Santa Barbara. I grew up there and it's a quite beautiful valley, with a very cool, spiritual vibe....
:hi:

Congrats to you!
