Right now I'm in Cambridge, MA, visiting my friend Dorothy and her son Xander, who just moved here from the LA area and I couldn't be any happier to have them back on the East Coast where they belong! Dorothy just got off the phone with her husband, Chris, who just passed his orals at UCLA, but will not be back until Sunday, and he was apparently bummed that he wouldn't see me, which makes me feel all warm and loved. They are great friends and I am really excited to have them back in my life in a more immediate sense.
Xander is a handful. He's 4, and just as smart and inquisitive and friendly as they come. And active! I've spent all day playing with him, and I'm about to fall over. I'd be less tired if I were in a bad tech! Still, I really like him, and he seems to like me, so I'll probably spend tomorrow doing the same thing before I run home to get ready for Dave's parents coming down for the weekend (Dave is, as I type, on the way to Worcester to do some stuff there before bringing his parents back on Friday.) Someone needs to get there before they do to make sure that the place isn't a wreck in our absence!
