A Balance of Harmonies: Places to Be

I have a horrible headache today, but at least I don't have to work.

I think I'm just going to have to wing all the stuff about the North California coast. Google/Google Maps is no help when it comes to where hospitals are. I gave up and checked my own state and couldn't even find the hospital I had my children in. And hunting for hospitals with trauma units/centers is even worse. Google only lists two in the entire state and I know the hospital in the town I was raised had one because it's what saved my uncle's life after his motorcycle accident when I was a kid. He never completely recovered, but then, head injuries are bad for the brain.

This reminds me of an interview I listen to with a woman who been hit by a car. When she woke up and saw her husband and family, she knew they were important to her, but she didn't know how. In the Dresden book I just finished, he was dead and therefore made up of memories, which could be eaten by bad ghosts or used as weapons to protect oneself, but if a ghost didn't recover it's memories after loosing or using them, it lost part of itself. I think that we as humans are made out of our memories.

I'm not going to do anything with that for this story, but I thought of a story idea where a woman wakes up and feels the tug of connection more for the man she didn't marry than the one she did and has two small children with. Told by the guy whose has crushed on the husband since college, so it can have a happy ending.
