Flew down to L.A. this morning, on a nearly empty plane; rented a Prius at the airport; spent the afternoon hanging out with family--Jay & Holly and Gabrielle, Ethan, and Phoebe. Very nice to see everyone and to meet Ethan. Phoebe (who's four) was very excited about the opportunity to help Aunt Holly make a castle-shaped cake, which turned out mighty tasty.<\/p>\n
Then everyone left. I made a couple of phone calls to try to pin down plans for the rest of the week, then took a nap, then sat here in Jay & Holly's amazing house and watched the sun set over the ocean. (Well, I couldn't quite see the sun itself, but I could see the sky near it.) The weather report yesterday said it would be about 55 degrees down here today, but I'm pretty sure it was quite a lot warmer; I was standing outside in my T-shirt in the sun this afternoon, and was perfectly warm.<\/p>\n
Now I'm listening to an Old Blind Dogs album (Tall Tails<\/cite>, which I finally bought on CD after years of waiting for the iTunes Store to start selling it so I could replace my cassette) and catching up on some magazine administrivia and some belated blogging. Soon I will have some more dinner and read some more submissions. Nice to have a little downtime before a fairly social week.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Flew down to L.A. this morning, on a nearly empty plane; rented a Prius at the airport; spent the afternoon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-travel"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10929\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
