Sadly today we
witnessed the funeral of Miguel’s father, Victor Arias.
Then we went to
the Writers In Transition reading at the California Kitchen. Two of our friends were reading:
Chris Peterson with “How the Fourth Grade changed my life” http://youtu.be/z40sd6scjuM
And Manon Stevenson with a true story “Well, there was the
time we borrowed the airplane”. http://youtu.be/cn1QEnvG_MY
That was today's
excitement, Cheers, Al
