Well, in the last week since I’ve become a slacker-pants blogger, a few things have happened.

1. Wildfires tore through Westmont college, Montecito, and other areas around Los Angeles.  Scary because there are a whole host of people that I deeply love in these places.

2. I found out what it was like to SMS, Skype, and forum-search through a fire-emergency.  Relieved all are safe, though some lost everything.

3. Sweet Dom came to visit me from Portland for my birthday to run in our half-marathon.

4. I awoke at 4:40am on my day of birth to find that the half-marathon was cancelled.  Oh, smokey wildfire air.  You are no good for runners.  (Or, for half-trained joggers like me.)

5.  We quick road-tripped to Santa Barbara where Elise opened up for Tyrone Wells.  Following the show she surprised me with the most epic birthday global-hug ever…the Martin o’ my dreams.  Made possible with the help of a long list of beautiful people.  You know who you are.

6. I’ve been completely over-run by papers, overdue projects, and other savories.

7. I discovered that the following are good for my soul on Friday afternoons: homemade hot tamales, outdoor seating, and live piano.  All at the local coffee dig.

8. And, Twitter is more fun than I thought.  I’m now following Shaq.  As in, Shaq.  (Mashable says it’s really him.  A genius for his marketing.)  His updates are amusing.  Wonder if he’ll get my tweet and answer…
