Seasons (Fall in Particular)

The air is a little cooler, and dare I say brisk, tonight.

I am going to close my eyes and pretend I am experiencing a real Autumn night.

My favorite time of the year in Michigan...

that place that takes its seasons very seriously.

These are pictures my (very talented) friend Jane took...

When I saw them I knew I had to have copies.

I guess I knew at some point I might be sitting far away

trying to remember those Michigan Seasons.

This was made using sound bites from the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland.

Enjoying Alice here and here, as well.

I found SoCo (South Congress) to be a wonderful neighborhood to rest my dawgs while staying in Austin.

Greetings From Austin!

I am tagging along with the Cubby this week as he attends the GDC (Game Developers Conference) in Austin. I will most likely be wandering the city aimlessly during the day (note to self: contact people you know in Austin for some catching up) and in the evening partying with the best of them. Game Developers, that is. I hear they are a wild, crazy bunch of hooligans.

BONUS: Half of our time in Texas will be spent at the Cubby's lake house located in the Hill Country. This will be my "Detox from the City of Angels" time. Last time we were there was three years ago and it was a Flannel Lover's dream come true. I'm determined to wear only that, listen to some old timey country music and drink my coffee every morning by the dock while chatting with the ducks.

And, gosh darn it, then you can call me Relaxed!

Here are a few shots from our last visit:

Sittin' by the Dock...

I've got a lot to do today... The majority of the day will be spent doing laundry and packing. All while stomping my foot on the ground, whipping my arm around in a sweet lasso move, and singing this in my best twangy voice:

Substituting the "Nashville Blues" with "Hollywood Blues!"

Later!

My friend Monica and I hit up the always colorful, the always loud, and the always crazy Venice Beach.

A group of kids were making fun of me at one point because I was taking pictures of these sunglasses (pictured above.) My friend Monica pointed out later that they had no teeth in their mouths. They were obviously displacing some anger and frustration onto me and my photo-making... If they would have heard my genius idea to take pictures of puppies on the boardwalk and make a coffee table book they would have taken me more seriously, I'm sure.

I mean c'mon, look at this little guy!

Pups

All in all, it was fun catching up with my friend Monica (who was kindly my best friend in the seventh grade.) We drank margaritas, danced, and hung out by the pool. Oh! And, had a great breakfast at The Organic Panificio Cafe in Marina Del Rey.

My sister and her husband welcomed Charlotte Lian Wednesday evening at 11:43 p.m. We had all been waiting eagerly for her arrival. And, now I can hardly wait to fly out to Wyoming to meet her.
