- Annie's brother-in-law explaining how getting married was choosing a life of "ennobling pain"
- this Newlywed Game-ish quiz about who does what in their relationship
Wes also did a great job showing me around LA - we went to the Dali exhibit (that man was obsessed with ants), had tasty Italian food, shopped for a couch, went to Trader Joe's for panini ingredients, ate at a pancake place that his friend saw Turk from Scrubs at twice, and went to a tea bar showing football games with scantily-clad waitresses. I guess I should actually thank Yelp, which is where Wes's roommate-to-be found most of these places.
While I was in SoCal, I also got to catch up with Jen, Robin, Vince, Albert, Yaz, Jenn, Judy, Kathy, Richard, and Charles. So many people! Other than the fact that everybody's getting engaged (congrats Yaz and Robin!) or in relationships, the most important thing is that we need to convince Vince to recapture his dream to start a business.
I also spent a lot of time in traffic. How do people put up with that?
Speaking of Southern California - my family was evacuated but is now back home. Thanks to everyone who was checking in - I felt very loved!
