above illo for LA Times Book Review

Sitting on the couch here for a small moment. Enjoying the fact that almost every item on my to-do-before-vacation-list has been scibbled out. My bags have been packed and are waiting by the door. I probably packed too much, for once in my life. And mostly books, which means I can’t lift my bag. (Whoever invented wheelie bags is my personal hero.) Colin is still racing around packing photograph equipment and various black wires that look like a tangly pile of spaghetti to me.

This trip is our 30th birthday presents to each other. And we’ve been looking forward to it for a while. So tomorrow as the sun says hello, we’ll be catching a plane in Charlotte, North Carolina and bidding the rest of that to-do-list bon voyage.

See you in six days friends. Wishing you a creative, happy week.

xo,
