No two days should be the same is one of Mike's new mantras. And thus far, no two days have been the same. Take today. At one point, Mike was conducting research and interviews to write a piece about Assisted Suicide. At another point, he was making a Home Depot run and then replacing a mailbox at the front of his house. Then picking up a pizza for himself and his boys.... watching Family Guy... overseeing the launch of his new website...checking his younger son's homework.. and finally sharing Coronas around a firebowl with his assistant CC (white shorts, middle), her boyfriend Orlando ("O") and their long-legged Korean friend Liz.
The end-of-day group spoke of Puerto Rico, from where O's family hails. They realized Liz could not say marshmallow. Mike told the spooky, uproarious tale of The Whippet Bandit. They studied the cosmos. They formed a unique oneness... a collective spirit... particularly when they moved like a pack toward the kitchen, evil intent in mind. Pancakes, chicken chunks, stew... all were on the radar and happily consumed.
Ultimately, the night was capped in Mike's living room, wherein a mini film fest was created and the pack sat rapt watching Wallace & Grommit claymation shorts.
This is how a "work" day is meant to be spent.
Great night - good company!
