LA eNVy?

It's nice to have family come and visit. It's even nicer, possibly, when they show up singly rather than en masse.

'Cause then you get to ignorefocus all your attentions on them more easily. We managed to neglect The Screenwriter for one whole day due to a headache that wouldn't leave. Fortunately, the Queen Mother and Erkie managed the entertainment nicely without us.

Twenty-somethings are not what they used to be though. The Sierra nightlife (cruising for girls at the local college hotspots) occupied them till the wee hours on Friday. However, Saturday night was slightly different--scuttlebutt has it that they both fell asleep fairly early and only woke up when the Queen Mother called to see if they were still alive or had died while DUI.

I found that it's also much easier to coerce smaller numbers into having their picture taken rather than rounding up a large and uncooperative group. (Although my propensity for asking them to stare directly at the sun might have something to do with their reluctance.)

It was nice to spend time with The Screenwriter. We hope he had a good time.

p.s. Isn't that puppy getting BIG!
