Just a quick update for now

I have a free moment to write down a few words, but only a few. Last week ended a little better than it started. The girls and I went with some friends to the pumpkin patch on Friday, so I'll try to post some of those pics, either here or on Shutterfly. It was fun, even though this year the girls didn't ride the ponies. Maybe we'll go back. There's still a week left before Halloween. I also wanted to post a quick video of Sophie bowling, but I think Blogger did away with its video uploading to make me use YouTube. So, if anyone knows of an easy non-YouTube way to post a video here, lemme know.

Another thing I've been up to is getting involved with a writing/tutoring project for kids in Venice and Echo Park. I'll tell you more later, because I'm just getting started, but so far, I love it. Unfortunately I don't have as much time to help out as I would like. And I thought I would be concentrating in the Echo Park area, which for some reason really appeals to me, but it's kind of fun going to the Venice area, too. The building is near where my sister used to live and work. So maybe I'll split my time. The drive is probably 30-40 minutes to either location (with little traffic), but it's nice to get out of Long Beach for a change. I feel as if I'm finally exploring other areas of Los Angeles, and I'm learning to enjoy where I live. I suppose it's only taken me ten years!
