Description: Wherein Marty and Heather stay with friends in Los Angeles
(Marty's Report):
Matt went for a bike ride this morning, and I hung out with the dogs and meditated while Heather slept. It was overcast, which I never really get with LA. Its image is so etched with sunshine that it's discordant, and carries a sense of "inappropriateness." I went with Matt to Corey's soccer game, with Riley observing with us in the stands. It seemed part of the family ritual of life, very familiar and integrated into what they do (they have a pretty scheduled life). We talked about mindfulness practice, and I gave some pointers. We also talked about parent politics, as Matt said hi to familiar faces, and I think I said to him that this aspect of parenting seemed the most horrific to me, of being randomly assigned to community just by virtue of having kids in proximity to each other.For lunch, we went to Pita Pita, apparently a staple because everyone knew the manager. We got on the topic of 80's music, somehow...oh, maybe there was music playing and Matt and I were trying to explain it to the girls? Then we went to a bookstore and wandered around, with me buying a book on design, and then returned home to Matt's. Diemha got home early from her conference. We kind of just hung out some more, doing not much of anything, enjoying.
