After some 24 days away, arrived back in L.A. late yesterday to a hail storm followed by the most spectacular, grand arc of colors that we could marvel at from our balcony in Silverlake. What made it even more memorable was at that very moment my sister Blanca was informing that she is a) having a girl b) having a Gemini (like yours truly...poor her), and c) calling her Melody Rose.

Good to be home. Plenty to file from the Paris adventure that's worth checking out, even if you're not going to be there in the coming weeks.
