We leave tomorrow....
... around sunset. And we won't be back 'til Sunday night, possibly Monday morning.
We're going to be staying here. At the Bodega Bay Lodge. Yep. You heard me right. The same Bodega Bay where Hitchcock shot 'The Birds'. Elijah thinks that's very funny and plans to be on the lookout for seagulls with a manical, we're-taking-over-the-world look in their eye. Frankly, I feel he's destined to be disappointed.
Things appear to have calmed down a bit, for which I'm very grateful. Harry and Bean are doing the best they can under very difficult circumstances and I wish them both the best.
And last night's meeting was one of the best I've ever attended. I laughed until I cried [sometimes at people who were't even THERE!]. And the sight of Elijah playing with Dash was so incredibly beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. He's so great with kids. God, he'd make the most amazing father! My girls are lucky to have him.
SO good to have Karl, Marton, and Dave.. back in the fold. It was great to see them. Each one of them seems to possess a unique wisdom and insight that is so needed by the rest of us. Marton is a poet.. no doubt about it.. he's a pensive soul and I've loved reading his stuff. Dave is like Faramir! It's amazing! He's good and kind and so eager to help his friends. I admire the guy a lot. And Karl? Mr. Romance. My god, the girls were all jockying for position to get some time with him. The guy IS a hunk.. no doubt about it. Great sense of humor too.
Dom and Billy weren't there last night.. but I knew they wouldn't be. Where ever they were.. I know they were having the best night ever. I missed my brother hobbits, but I SO understand their need to get away from the craziness and back into each other. My turn starts tomorrow.
Elijah's in the bathroom.. singing along with his juke box.. yelling at me to make coffee and pour him an OJ.
Life is good.
That's scary.
