Venice Beach Canals, a set on Flickr.
I don't think I really fully appreciated this area until we came back for another Spring here. I'm here 4 days a week and each time I fly down I find more things I enjoy doing. I'm certainly not a bored trailing spouse. Every day after I finish my homework I'm out with the other film widows, exploring, doing yoga, running on the beach, lunching in cafes in the sun. I will never say something unkind about LA again... ;)

Q. Where in the world are Joel and Stacey?
Spring, the season of weekly flights and filming hysteria is upon us. Joel, being the Pennington he is, manages his overtime hours and fits in his cycling training for hours in the wee hours every morning. Around LA. He's not all that fond of the inner city routes but looks forward to the longer weekend rides in Malibu. He also claims that riding "California Screaming" in Disneyland's California Adventure is part of his training. If he's successful at proving this DL will become a haven of athletes. Imagine that.
I scaled back my school schedule to make room for (drum roll) skating and (another drum roll) a life. I know, frivolous. I got a little burnt out on school in the fall and have diversified my weeks with skating and more regular running. I hired a skating coach here and will begin to work with her tomorrow. I also took a trapeze lesson at a circus school yesterday. So to all the kids that made fun of me when I was too scared to venture up the ladder to the tree-house... try the ladder to the top of the trapeze platform. Fear of heights conquered. Without the use of a trapeze, I fly to LA every other week to see Joel. A schedule we are pretty used to now.
The Academy of Art is giving me an Associate of Arts degree (AA) in May of this year. It's nice to have that under my belt though I will most likely keep working toward my full degree over the next few years. An ongoing gallery of school projects of mine is growing on Deviant Art
That's all for now! If you're in Victoria, enjoy the snow or buy some really huge patio heaters.
