Our trip home to LA for the holidays is nearing its conclusion - a wonderfully hectic three weeks with family, friends, food and drink - and we will return to South Bend with two extra bags of Jen's clothes, a mild trepidation for the soon-to-be faced snow, a few extra pounds around my midsection, and a short-haired Jennifer.
Christmas was an excellent break, and afforded us time to speak with family and friends in Australia, as well as spend many hours catching up with those here in Los Angeles. We welcomed the New Year in the mountains with all 350 Herrera's - with four days spent eating and drinking almost continuously, while admiring the beautiful lack of snow due to the mild winter.
Now it is back to South Bend for a few days before I leave for a 10-day silent meditation retreat near Chicago. It promises to be an interesting and perhaps horrifying challenge - being left alone with my thoughts for a 10-day stretch - with no use of phones, emails, books, writing, or social interaction...and instead the promise of physical discomfort and 10 hours of meditation each day.
