I don't usually stay-up this late, and definitely don't usually have anything sensible to write this late, but tonight I'm filled with the fullness of a rich evening, so wide awake.  Shared an outdoor dinner with dear friends, Bob and Sandra (who housed me for my first six-weeks in LA, beginning exactly 2 years ago, to the day!), along with their son, Steven, another friend, Erin, and two folks from Pretoria, South Africa.  The night nibbled and rambled and sipped toward the stroke of midnight, and yet it was one of those eves where time's presence felt absent.  This crew does life in such a unique and peculiar and passionate way that they can't help but leave one inspired.  So yeah, anyway, just grateful this evening and stuck with a spirit too alivened to sleep.
