Michael stopped by tonight. He had come by earlier this morning to pick up some negatives of his head shots, and thought the house looked unnaturally empty. He was doing some shopping, and stopped by just now on his way up to Big Bear to see how we're doing.
The house is emptier, but we like it well enough. It was nice to talk with Michael, though. He's off reserve at the airline, and starts classes at the Groundlings in mid-January. He's working at Crystal's restaurant, and looks to be in good shape. I reminded him that he's welcome here whenever he likes, and he was geniunely appreciative.
Carole called, and tried to convince him to stay here tonight - to avoid the icy roads on the way up the hill. He was polite, but firm, and left about 9:30.
