The movie reminded me of the angst of so many of my students. I felt like the message was that pretty much everyone has baggage and you just have to deal with it -- and, of course, living in the moment versus thinking about the future. I always tell my students to appreciate those special moments in life as they occur -- live in the moment, but do it responsibly.
Our next stop was The Tripel, the place owned by a Top Chef runner-up. It turned out to be a small bar with a great beer selection and great bar food. We met my former student Nick for lunch. He just moved out to LA to start his career in the film biz -- he was also one of Sam!s scholarship winners. We caught up with his efforts to secure employment and talked about the quirks of the business.
And then it was back into the car for a traffic-laden drive to La Crescenta and Chrissy and Jess and families. It took almost an hour to make it there. We're staying with Jess, so we stopped there first and spent some time with Jess and Camilo, who had just worked all night (he's a doctor). Lucas woke up just before we left for dinner with Chrissy and family.
The meal was in Pasadena at a Mexican place. Having a meal with 4 children under the age of four is quite an experience! Just getting everyone seated is a major task.
Here's Jeremy and Gus.
And cute Lucas.
And the adorable twins.
