nyc taxi

Here I am, in a taxi, on my way to my 30th high school reunion. I went to Spence, an all girls school on the upper east side of Manhattan, from grades 1 – 9. Didn’t graduate from there, sure, but I figure my decade plus gave me enough cred to join the party.

Which was lovely, if a bit weird, as I hadn’t seen some of my former classmates since we were teenagers.

We all seemed to have weathered the storms of our lives pretty well, which was inspirational as it can be tempting to feel like I am the only one of this particular crew who has had some rough patches. Nothing like a little wine, food and old friends to give a person a dose of perspective.

I’m looking forward to the next one, for sure…

LACMAtempura

Ok so this photograph is not exactly from yesterday… it’s from last week, when we were pretending we lived in LA and had a house with a pool (thanks to a cousin who let us borrow his pad) and no real commitments. It was what spring vacations are meant to be like. And you’ll hear all about it by the end of this week, I promise. Just got to wade through the photos, organize my notes, etc etc etc…

Anyway, this is a picture of some of the tempura paintings we made in the Boone Children’s Gallery at the LA County Museum of Art (LACMA.) Their kids programs are amazing– and if you come with your little ones on a family day, each child gets a membership card to the museum that’s good TILL THEY’RE EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD. How cool is that? Plus they can bring a grownup with them for free.

Now that’s a great use of philanthropy, if you ask me.
