where was i last year at this time? where were you?
speeding down the bel air stretch of sunset blvd
ripping off the intro: 'father to a sister of thought....'
this is the discreet charm of the foxymorons

last-minute el lay diversions:
beers at the roost
running into (quite literally) eleanor friedberger at the thrift store
orange grove walk-and-talks
