Sleeping and Meeting Babies

I may be catching up on the sleep I've missed my entire life. Is it normal to sleep so much when you are relatively happy? This month I don't have any nightlife crowd shots or smiling, beverage-in-hand pics. Besides sleep and watching the Hallmark channel in Buenos Aires, I've hung out in family settings with kids and ate large meals and relaxed a lot on couches. I'm thinking this is what well-adjusted people spend time doing.

This is okay as a novelty but not sure I can hold out sitting so much. I'm hoping there's another segment to this settling down thing. We're hunting for an apartment which is more my speed. Think I need to turn up the volume - maybe if there was some kind of sunshine going on - it's overcast here in sunny South America. The city generally has a lot of Naples, Italy going on but lately it's doing its best imitation of London.


This month I made a trip to LA which included one funeral and three visits to the dentists. Despite those, I got to enjoy some quality time with friends and family - even some good times with family in there between the neurotic moments.

Okay, I did go out a little bit - forgot - just over to the Standard and Chinatown.
Crowds and cocktails.

Remember "where's waldo?" Can you find Dr. Oop and Loco in the crowd?

And Max and I went to a big show before I left - something sponsored by soda.
