I choose New York every time

When we started planning this last leg of Faux Birds Season 3 back in January, Larry suggested that maybe we spend a few nights in New York before heading to Asia. I was beyond thrilled but made my puppet hand say: “Be cool, Kim, just be cool.” I replied casually, “Sure, if you want to.”… Read More I choose New York every time

A perfect summer

This has been — without a doubt — the best summer at Camp I can remember. Even though the season was truncated, and even though our numbers decreased every week, it was more incredible than I could have ever hoped. The first two weeks, especially, were magical.

Long overdue reunion

When we were in Munich, we made some incredible friends with four other couples. We all had kids of varying ages at the same international school and we all were living in the city of Munich (as opposed to the rural village where the school was situated). We had a lot in common: similar tastes… Read More Long overdue reunion

The Claremont Chapter

After Larry picked me up at LAX we headed directly east to a town called Claremont so we could get acclimated with the newest element of our nomading: pet sitting. Through the website, Trusted Housesitter, we agreed to house sit (and pet sit and plant sit) for a lovely couple who were traveling for 11… Read More The Claremont Chapter
