Had a blast playing Topanga Days! 🎶❤️

Felt the need to to a Neil Young song, as we were just down the street from his former home in Topanga. Where this tune was written and recorded!

Full video at link in bio. 👀

“What is now proved was once only imagined.” ⚡️💥❤️

I’m grateful for the outsiders, visionaries and misfits who spark our imagination and make the world more beautiful.

Great news! After eleven days evacuated, we can finally go home to Topanga. Hallelujah! 🙏💙🙌❤️

Boo Boo is clearly thrilled. “What, you’re going to put me in a carrier for the fourth time this week?!?” 😅

Still evacuated, still safe. Our home in Topanga is so far unaffected by fire. 🙏❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who’s reached out and all the positive vibes! Hopefully we can go home soon. 🤞

Happy New Year's Eve, all! 🔥

May it be as cozy and as comfortable as an old cat snuggled in a winter jacket.

Cheers! 🍾🥂❤️

Haven’t seen the Dylan biopic yet, but I likely will. Despite my own misgivings about biopics.

Anyway, this paragraph in a review in @theatlantic.com by James Parker caught my eye. The major division in life is between carnies and non-carnies?!? Hell yeah!

Be the carnie of your own life! Love it.

This is Merwin. A month ago he was a very sick cat. FIP, which is fatal if left untreated. But thankfully we were able to get him medicine that was only recently approved in the U.S. And he’s bounced back! Eating, playing, all the things.

So happy to see this recovery. Long live Merwin! 😍
