I’m more nervous than I thought I would be. I feel like I am still taking care of David and want the events to be real celebrations. I am hearing from so many people about how much David shaped their lives. He certainly did mine. I’m not really nervous about the events. Let’s face it, they will be full of people who loved David, so it is bound to be a celebration. I’m hoping the travel gods are shining on us. I think David had a song about begging the sun to behave.

El Sol by David Shapiro. One day Alex or I will sing it for you.

So, the title of this post is a lyric from On The Twentieth Century because, after two days in LA, we get on a train to take the three night trip to New York. David and I took the train when we came to CA in 2011. I’m looking forward to the trip. We have a bedroom, which I think is larger than the room David and I had.

I’m going to sign off now. Packing, etc. I’ll try to write on the trip, if anything interesting happens.
