« Well, this year has been wild hasn’t it? When the pandemic started I think most of us expected that we would be in for a long road full of struggle and isolation that would last through to the end of the year. @susanttran and I knew that Thanksgiving this year would be different for a great many reasons. Not the least of which being that we would not be gathering with family like we normally do as it would create an unsafe environment for the most vulnerable around us. But what we never expected at the beginning of the year is that we would have something (or more aptly someone) to be ever thankful for. @susanttran and I are excited to announce that we will be welcoming a baby boy at the end of November. We couldn’t be more excited and scared and nervous and happy and all the other emotions that have flooded us in the past 4 months. We can’t wait for you to meet him 🏻 I’m not going to lie, the seasonal affective disorder started way early this year. To try and combat it for my birthday and our babymoon (it’s a thing, look it up), @susanttran and I got as far away from people as we could…and just did nothing. Well, that’s not totally true, we cooked and ate, like we do at home, just not at home. I packed two bins of food and supplies (including my full knife roll, a Dutch oven, a cast iron pan), to a house we rented near Joshua Tree. Originally, I had planned on spending my 40th birthday at @_tfl_. It was something I wanted to do for 10 years…I wanted to bring friends, a true event. But then COVID happened and I had to put that on the back burner. For this birthday, food and loved ones were still on the menu, just scaled back and very quiet. Some of my favorite life events have been spent at some very special places that sadly are no longer around: Sona, @auburn.la, @dialogue.sm, @hereslookingatyoula, @bazaarbyjose, Campanile, Anisette…it’s not an exhaustive list, just places I remember fondly. What’s so unfortunate is that this list is just going to get longer. So anyway, this is 40, and apparently the new normal. Vote, wear a mask, and fuck Donald Trump. »
