Got back from a terrific week in Los Angeles hanging out with Nancy. It was a little eclectic and frantic (perhaps too many activities), but still the best vacation I’ve had in a long time…and probably the last for a long while! She took me to (among other places) the Getty, which was the richest structure I have ever experienced. I thought places like that only existed in computer renderings like Myst and people’s imaginations. In particular, I’m enamored with the musical rocks and the central garden; but the whole thing is an experience. Being there with Nancy magnified my enjoyment greatly, because I feel like she (more than most people I know) really appreciates simple sensory experiences like the texture of fabrics, etc.

On another note, I’ll join Jeff in sucking by way of having a queue of important messages that I need to get to. As Jeff said: ” Apologies to anyone who is stuck in that queue, but I have most likely marked your email as important, and will be getting to it this weekend”. Except that I suck way more because I most likely won’t be getting to it “this weekend”. But after the dust settles in the next two/three weeks I hope you’ll find I’m a sane and functional human being again (well, as sane and functional as I ever am, at least).
