Dear Readers,

Please excuse the dearth of blog entries over the past week, as I have been at Stanford for the past five days. But now that my sister's graduation hoopla (complete with six aunts, five cousins and one grandma in town) is finally over, I am back in full blog mode. And what better welcome back to LA could I ask for than a live police car chase, which is currently airing on Channel 11? Gee, I'll miss this city.
