My mama and I leave in the morning to take the boy to Honolulu to meet his cousins. Hurray! I am packed. And I am now officially excited. Up until this point it has been all fretting about traveling with a 9 month old, but now excitement, at least alternating with panic. Really it's much better than even a few minutes ago. This is all to say that you won't hear from me for a week. But really quickly before I go, let me just mention two newish vegan restaurants in the Los Angeles area: Veggie Grill in Irvine and Pure Luck in L.A. across the street from Scoops. Two thumbs up. More later. Go eat there. We'll discuss when I get back.
