Over winter break my good friend Graham flew out from Chicago to visit me in Santa Barbara. As I picked him up from the airport I remembered my visit to his place last January and the frigid cold he had just escaped. Graham threw his bags in my car, put on his sunglasses, and we peeled out of the airport parking lot to find ourselves two minutes later pulling to a stop with the Pacific sprawled out before us. We spent the afternoon walking the beach and exploring the pier. Nothing like a Californian winter.
