My Weekend of Out-of-Towners
Even though there have been little stresses here and there in coordinating schedules and parking and the like, I've had a lot of fun with all my people in from afar. I got to hang with Charlie and Nina (and Cedric) on Friday night. The warmest people ever. And I'm not just saying that because Charlie let me play with his iPhone. Nina and I stayed up late talking, and by the time I stumbled home my voice was gone for the night.
Yesterday my aunt and uncle were in town and we met up for lunch, right near the ballpark (during a game). I don't know what caused the dynamic to change but I had a much nicer time with them Saturday than I ever did growing up.
Tomorrow I meet my friend Caz, in from Vegas. I feel for Caz - she lived here for years and has tons of people to see. I remember what that's like - rushing to see everyone who'd be offended if they didn't get face time. Feeling like there's never enough time to do everything you want to do, no matter how many days you're in town. I'm honored that Caz is taking the time to meet me for lunch in between all her other obligations.
And Jennie, although we don't have plans, you are an out-of-towner and I have lost your blog somehow, please let me know what it is.

argh. commented and then my internet died.
Anyway, it was great meeting and talking to you Green. Whenever you're in LA, we'd love to see you again. You're welcome to stay with us too!
You got to see the gorgeous Cedric? I don't know if I'm more jealous about that or that you met up with the Charlie+Nina duo...
Well, well, well. Lost my blog did you? Tsk tsk.

If I get over my phobia of speing more co2 than necessary, we could make plans, since I am officially invited to a wedding in sf in november. I'll keep you posted.
Apropos your aunt and uncle: I've had the same experience before. The absence of the parental units works wonders on getting to know family in a new way. You can speak more freely, talk about other subjects, find new common ground. It's a good thing.
PS: Certainly hope I'm the Jennie you're looking for or, damn, that's pretty embarassing, huh? I don't consider myself all that special, fyi.
I meant "spewing more co2"...
Thanks Jennie - it was you. I am adding you to my bloglines so this won't happen again. Let me know if you're coming to town, I'd love to meet you (and your hot husband).
Thank you so much for all your warm comments.
I love your blog so it means much to me coming from you!
Warmest,
David
