Lytton and
his writing partner, Charly, are hard at work on their television series. We expect big news any day! And speaking of writing, Lytton and Xandra are working on turning their pinnipediphilia (love of sea lions) into a series of adventures for childrens' books! We were inspired by adventures on our honeymoon, (more pictures to follow soon!) specifically our death defying stunts in the roundabouts of Martinique. We are transforming our journeys into stories about Mr. and Miss Sea Leone - who flop to exotic locales.

Because Xandra desperately wants to cook for money and not have the fruits of her labor lingering around the house. Soon we'll have lots of updates on our facebook page and new blog.
And, because nothing exceeds like excess, there's one more project: Xandra is endeavoring to read as many Pulitzer Prize winning works of fiction as she can stomach. This is to broaden her horizons and spare Lytton some of the incessant chatter about the wonder that is Michael Pollan. So far, she's taken down All the King's Men and The Shipping News. She much preferred the latter. For evening reading, it doesn't drag you out as much. For instance compare this line, by Proulx: "He liked the rich taste of life so well himself he wished for an entree or two for Quoyle." with this line by Warren: "If a man knew how to live, he would never die." That pretty much sums up the tone of each. We're going to watch the 2 film versions of "All the King's Men," because it's about time we saw them, and then it's on to the next book - Michner's Tales of the South Pacific, A Thousand Acres, or The Killer Angels. Thoughts? Suggestions? Drop us a line.
A side note, it looks like the old and new versions of All the King's Men paint very different pictures of Willie Stark. Check it out:

It had crossed my mind what you might fill the time vacuum with after The Event was in the rear view mirror. I needn't have wondered. Short of running the government of a small, tumultuous nation or cataloguing the genome of pinnipeds, you have it covered. Sounds like you're taking the opportunity for downshifting to some finer pleasures.
