I am in Los Angeles for some events for the Lautner Foundation. As usual, we are all running around like maniacs doing the last-minute things. The event last night went well, and I expect tonight's will as well. Some of us will meet with the curator of an upcoming exhibition - proposed exhibition - tomorrow morning, and then I will head home. I have taken Monday off and expect to lie around all day.

Our motel is not what it was purported to be - no real breakfast - a roll at eight in the morning doesn't really cut it - no wireless - a computer in the lobby is no substitute - very thin walls, a beeping smoke alarm that kept us waking up at night...but out experience with Hollywood hotels has been this way. There are always things wrong and one gets to pay too much for too little.
