2006 May 1st

Ok I'll start off with an apology because I know I've been playing phone tag with some of you. My phone time is usually after 9pm here (after reggie goes to bed) or sometimes driving - but I'm keep that to a minimum since I am such a bad driver (have you heard I dinged a car aleady) - so this makes it hard for me to call folks on the east coast - so I apologize that I haven't kept in touch as well as I want to.

Things in Cali are great - I wish the weather was warmer - been around mid 60's to low 70's but I am wearing open toe shoes everday even when it rains since I go from parking garage to parking garage -and if you know me well you know I love my sandals!

I've been trying to slowly explore the area and Kathy is in town this weekend which has given me a chance to go out & see what's around in the neighborhood. We drove up to Santa Barbara this Sat and did some wine tasting - the scenery is beautiful but I didn't love the wines - too oaky for me. Yesterday we took Reggie to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market (he loves the pony rides & blueberries) and to venice beach.

Kathy will give a plug to come visit since I'm very close to the beach - and have access to pool, sauna, and gym - and I promise you will not sleep on the floor - so please come visit ---

Work is cool - Had one really rough day but since then everything has been good. My co-workers are around my age (a few younger) and definitely on the agency side there are lots of parties/dinners, etc so given that we work with alot of entertainment clients, it's been very fun to go out for work.

Reggie is doing great - he seems to like his new school and love seeing his cousins more often. He also likes to explore with me and we've been on the kiddy rides at the santa monica pier and he loves the 3rd St Promenade - he definitely likes to support and cheer on the local artists (even when they should not be singing in public).
