I’m back in Venice, with my mother in tow. This morning I woke up to find that she’s gone for a walk…and has yet to returned. Should I be concerned that my mother is lost in Los Angeles somewhere? On foot? She’ll be fine, I’m sure.

I’ll be in low-posting mode this week, with my mom in town and all. We’re spending the next two days here in the city, going to an African dance class together tomorrow night, and then skipping Halloween to go out camping in Joshua Tree.
