I've had a really good couple weeks now. Nothing too eventful. Went to a party and got set up with Michael by our mutual friends we didn't know we had, which was amusing. I've spent a lot of time with Laura, a lot of time with Kate. Life has been slow and good. And Proof is looking great, which is worth its weight in gold.
