So, do I look different? I always feel different in California, as if somehow the light and the climate conspire to change me as well. Same old me, though, just in a different environment. I'm visiting the best houseguests ever, and am hoping that I can do them some justice in return. So far my duties have involved basic aunt-stuff: holding the baby, walking with his big brother so he can be nursed, reading books to his big brother, that sort of thing. At some point I may cook something, but so far I have just been waited on hand and foot, even though they're the new parents at the moment. It's a rough life.
