I will be in the U.S. of A from December 25th to January 13th. If you are anywhere near the following places and want to meet up, please drop me a note! Cheers and happy new year!

Dec. 25th-Jan. 4th: all over southern California. We will be based in L.A. and probably will take a few side trips to Joshua Tree and Big Sur, as well as San Diego. All my west coast peeps holler at a playa!

Jan. 5th-13th: East side ’til I die, why aks why, as the world keeps spinnin’ to the D-A double-N, Y. Boston and NYC, maybe some stops in between. Hit me up.

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be some holiday guilt trip. I actually dislike Christmas for all of the consumer frenzy and forcing yourself to give generally shitty things to people you don’t really care about anyway. On the other hand, while I’d like to argue that we should (and do) give gifts all year round, the fact is that many of us need the sort of ambiguous, structured and required responsibility to give presents that Christmas, well, presents.

Anyway, that’s not really what this post is about. It’s about this article. FIRST read it (Warning: it’s a bit long, but not too bad), then make the jump.

Congratulations Abby and Merlin on the birth of your son Owen!
