this morning the boy says “let’s go off-roading.” next thing you know we’re stuck on a giant slope in the angeles national forest without cell reception, flagging down passersby in the dry, afternoon heat. two kind armenians, one who said he once boxed muhammad ali, pick us up. they take us to a hamburger joint atop the mountain where a feisty, old waitress greets us with a lopsided wig and a big, red man sips from a tea cup. we eat grilled cheeses and then wind down the hill to watch the armenian yank the boy’s 4×4 off the cliff.

has swept me across the dance floor in the most incredible way. there has been talk of the most inspiring story,  of love-drenched photos, of a puppy tragedy we won’t soon get over and of something, of something so powerful i haven’t felt in nearly a decade. there has been little sleep, missed photos, missed work-outs and missed meals. my eyes burn, my head pounds and my stomach aches with a new kind of happy.
