hitting the ground running

I should totally be sleeping now, but I think my brain's still fired up from getting back to work yesterday. It's like the downhill part of a roller-coaster: hard to stop. I even gave in and started watching "NYC Prep" via iTunes and it's junky, but terribly addicting. (They're all little monsters, er, teens, but if I had to pick one to like, it would probably be Jessie.)

The spouse-unit is busy as ever, but doing a swell job of manning the grill for a few mor weeks. Spice has grown (surprise, surprise) quite a bit taller and is almost walking. My family in Malaysia loved her, and traveling with her was pretty good, almost easy. But it's been a crazy summer of travels, so it's nice to be home in SoCal. Aside from the terrifying fires, of course.

Just a quick note to touch base; smile, be merry and enjoy the last rays of summer!
