I could give you a list as long as your arm of reasons not to stay at the Embassy Suites Hotel in La Quinta, California -- the swimming pool is so dirty that you don't need sunscreen, when you come out you're completely coated in spit, pee, and SPF 45 -- but man, I've got to pack! I'm going to Alice's house!

I'll be in New Jersey for the next two weeks while we try to finish writing our book, so updates will be sporadic or nonexistent for the duration. Either that or I'll have writer's block and post pictures of her making bacon and doing laundry every day. Check back to find out!
