I don’t update often enough.

Matt and Jalene are in Bangladesh.
All the paperwork has been filed for divorce. It’s all up to the bureaucracy now.
I turned 38. I’ve been letting my hair grow just to see what it looks like. Turns out it makes me look younger.
Road-tripped to Seattle. Top shelf. I will never again go to Seattle without dinner at Wild Ginger.
Saw Green Day in Vancouver. Super great. The encore was almost as long as the main show. You really felt Billy was sincere when he thanked the crowd at the end of the night. That matters.
I’m back in New York, unfortunately missing my 20-year reunion in Prince George this weekend. I think I would have enjoyed it.
Lee’s visa application has been approved. This is super mega fantastic.
We bought a very (very) nice camera. It’s very (very) nice.
I have a Google Voice phone number. One number to rule them all. 707-SHADOWS will reach me anywhere in the world, for ever and ever, amen, or at least it will once Google Voice works with non-US phone numbers. For now, I’ve only got the iPhone wired through it.

So far, 38 has been very much worth the trip. Life never ceases to amaze.

So long, Michael Jackson

reviews / 2 Comments

Michael Jackson died in LA today of cardiac arrest, possibly related to abuse of medication. I will remember him as a guaranteed floor-filler. You could count on the King of Pop to put the girls on the dance floor with any of a dozen songs, certainly more than any other artist.

Whatever anyone will say of him in the next few weeks, you have to admire the talent.

I can’t say I’ll miss him, per se, because we’re at the end of what I see as a long decline for him, with no small amount of scandal and financial trouble. He wasn’t well and I don’t think he was going to manage a come back, but no one could argue other than that a legend has passed.

In other news, Farrah Fawcett also died today. Wow. What a day.
