Did you go to Redondo High? It looks like we grew up in the same area, and you've encountered June Gloom early. I was in LA in March, and I saw one Ukrainian and a million American flags. My family isn't pleased with US foreign policy, but they never are. Aside from talking about Ukraine with my one family member who keeps up with global affairs, no one else brought it up.

Hope you eat all the foods you miss and enjoy being home. xo
