Quote of the Day

So school's going well, the studio is thriving (I'm only teaching one class! hooray!), our backyard grass is growing, the nights are cooling, and Gary's classes are making him stretch in a whole new way (he's teaching an academic Humanities class for the first time and the prep is invigorating but time consuming). It must be fall.

Nothing exciting to report, really, except that Spencer can now kind of sing the ABC's and we planted a new peach tree. We are gearing up for Halloween and Sophie's birthday already, but first we get to spend Harvest Break in Del Mar with Mom and Dad, Kars, Abby and Kate! (and spouses and kids, on and off, right?) Can't wait for the beach and Disneyland!

In the meantime, here's my thought for the day, because after destroying my minivan's bumper by hitting a perfectly stationary trailer today, I've needed a laugh: The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around until he’s completely draped in it. Then he’ll stand up and go, “hey, I’m Vine Man!”

  1. Gotta love that Larsen humor.... If it makes you feel any better, we've had a dent in the back of our minivan for 5 years now. We could get it fixed, but why be like everyone else? What's wrong with being a little different? It really sets us apart here in the OC.... :)

  2. Oh, this is more than a dent. I ripped almost half the sucker off! I know, it takes a lot of talent. But at least it gives our car some character. It's no longer like all those other nondescript Honda Odysseys out there!
