It’s been about 16 days since I announced our pending move to New York, so I thought it would be a good time to give an update. On the 10th of this month Lauren and I had the great pleasure of attending my cousin’s wedding in Los Angeles. It was a wonderful affair in the open air patio at the Oviatt Penthouse. There we were able to see my sister, brother-in-law, mom, aunts, uncles, cousins and their spouses. It was a wonderful visit to LA: sunny and hot, but not too hot with a warm glowing evening that lay rich upon the night-crawling denizens of West Hollywood.

I’ve not done much blogging since we moved to New York but I wanted to just say that we’ve been enjoying our summer here. It’s been hot - that’s something that I had forgotten about after living in SF for so long. I’ve been lucky to have some time off and we also had a chance to take Byron upstate to hike around the Catskills and even jump in a swimming hole near Woodstock. One of the great perks about our neighborhood is a series of summer concerts called “Celebrate Brooklyn.” Thus far we had seen Lucinda Williams. On the first we were graced by a performance from Taylor Mac.
