The Ground Running

Happy New Year! I'm probably too tired to post. It's now almost 1:10 am New York time, but I wanted to reach into the new year and welcome it. Anticipate it. At 10:30 the girls and I ran down to a corner diner where we thought Zoe's friend might be. Zoe's friend's mom just returned from shooting a film in India. She bought the girls hot chocolate. As soon as she got back from India--practically right after she landed--she hit the ground running and took her daughters to a movie. I didn't think I'd see her for awhile. But I saw her tonight. And I brought her and her daughters back for cake. We had to run back because she had to get back home before midnight. It was breathless. I cut into the cake quickly. Served up pieces. I was giddy and energetic. I want to hit the year running. I want to do something worthy of writing about here every day this year.

Lara?
