Here we go...

It all hits the fan this week kids. We move into our new house Saturday and David's movie, "Dismal", starts filming on Monday. Crazy timing.

I'm thrilled about the new house. It's a beautifully restored 1910 Victorian with about 1,000 more square feet than we have now plus an unfinished attic that could be turned into great play room some day down the road. I have a had a love hate relationship with our current place (love the yard; hate the small kitchen and no dishwasher). We will always be grateful for the good times we've had here and remember this little cape cod where we started our married lives together.

Declan was a complete champ on our trip to California. Laura said our visit energized Lisa in a way she hasn't seen her energized in months. It was excellent...we sat and laughed and laughed on the couch of their rental house in West Sacramento, You would have thought it was 5 years earlier in LA before she was sick. We talked about our crazy handyman (a Persian guy with a laughably bad hair piece and a crack habit who thought caulk would fix any and all home calamadies) and revisited memories of Lisa's disastrous dating past. I always told her she should write a comic memoir just about her horrific yet hilarious dating escapades. It would feature Silent Fart guy, the Star Wars action figure guy, the star of Flesh Gordon guy and the J. Crew model looking Stewart who had a penchant for punk music, S&M and swinging and who ended up becoming her husband for a while.

I'm still not ready to accept her not being on this planet.
