Abigail's Aunt

They've come from all over to visit the Dragon Boss: Boston, Virginia, Austin, and, this weekend, Rancho Los Feliz. That's where you'd want to live in LA if your work was near there or if you had an electric car to let you on the HOV lanes, something that our southern neighbors tell is harder to come by than a good script. 

As Shrimp Jr found out, you can't very well spend every second starting at the Dragon Boss, unless you want to equal his one ounce a day weight gain in pounds and never make it out of your pajamas, so Abigail's aunt and uncle threw in a book party launch on their visit. It made everybody happy. Baleen and I got to act like urbanites again, putting on clothes that we checked out in the mirror, and Grizzly and Wood Duck got to babysit for a couple hours.

Two hours later, just as Abigail's aunt and uncle were headed to an enviable dinner with friends whom Baleen hadn't seen in months, Baleen practically ran to our car. Two hours away was the longest she'd ever spent from the Dragon Boss and while it definitely was a few minutes too long, it might have been two hours too long for her.
