my random ramblingsan infrequent (and these days, mostly Mira related…) blog

flight to PHL on Monday, drove past the Linc and an Eagles game on my way to Princeton. back home Thursday night, starting to get kinda cold…

flew in on Sunday, at work Monday morning. dinner at some Mexican place, flying home on Wednesday. sure a lot warmer here.

supposedly 5 million people in the city for the Cubs parade – definitely felt like it. babysitter Friday night for Лена’s performance during the studio’s anniversary party.

quick stop at home after work before picking up Mira from school. popped in the Disney store, then across the street to Macy’s and dinner in the Walnut Room – and they’re already assembling their tree… nice meal, watched a huge thunderstorm roll past while we ate. still sprinkling on the way back so Mira got to wear my jacket. saw the Cubs win the Series, then in bed for some sleep.

been celebrating Halloween all weekend… Friday after school party, which i unfortunately missed due to my never ending flights home. Saturday trick or treating in the building followed by an after-party upstairs. Sunday ballet, then Matthew’s birthday party in the afternoon. all this, and Halloween’s not even until Monday…

all day in the office, but getting a lot done. back to the hotel for a quick nap, then a nice long walk to my 9 pm dinner at a recommended Catalonian restaurant. fun time, long walk back snapping pics along the way.

afternoon arrival, staying in Eixample around the corner from 2 Gaudi houses. relaxed dinner, and multiple scenic strolls.

nice to see a little progress, but still well over a year away. will be helpful to have some more room, excited for the change.

in Los Angeles over the weekend and all day Monday for work. rough, rough… red-eye home through Detroit.

early class at Mission with Mira. yeah, she’s definitely too young for this… maybe will try again when she’s 5. early evening trip to ORD for my flight to LAX.
