here, there, everywhere

... is what my sister always used to call this city when she was a baby, which I've always liked. At any rate, hello from disturbingly sunny Los Angeles, where I am having lots of fun with Lauren and my dad's family, and playing lots of robot games with Joey, the world's cutest 5 year old stepbrother. It's so sunny here that, in between mouthfuls of Mexican food, I feel almost guilty thinking about Iain, who is buried in 3 feet of snow back in Aberdeenshire. Almost.
