It's 71F and sunny here in Los Angeles -- at least it is in Hollywood. West side is probably cooler, the Valley is probably warmer.

I'm working my tuchas to pieces today. Later I'll take a nap, go to the gym, and help my wife pack for her flight tomorrow.

This is normally when I would say "I don't have anything smart to report." That phrase is my defense mechanism when I have things on my mind but I don't think anyone really wants to hear about them. I miss my Boston friends, I'm scared about becoming a parent in the next year or so, I need to quit eating chocolate again, I don't feel creative anymore.

I miss having a real-world community. I'm considering joining a local tech lab (Crash Space in Culver City) so I have a place to meet more people, maybe get my amateur radio license so I can play with remote homebrew objects.

If I could, I'd go back to doing community radio. I miss that more than anything. I listened to the KMET reunion weekend on 100.3 The Sound this weekend and it just made me horribly home sick for WHRW Binghamton.
