Away Party"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We had a little send off at a park in Santa Monica before we left town. \u00a0It was really great to be surrounded by so many friends and loved ones. \u00a0Every so often there is an event that brings together the various factions in my life, usually a wedding or baby shower or something, and I always really enjoying seeing old friends from work mingling with cousins from Oregon, or guys from my ManKind Project circle mixing it up with Rachael&#8217;s Law School buddies. \u00a0This was definitlely one of those occasions. \u00a0We tucked in to a huge mess of carne asada and homemade pie, tossed the frisbee around, and played with the kids while listening to Willie Colon and Fela Kuti. \u00a0It really couldn&#8217;t have been nicer; it&#8217;s one of those days that will always stay with me. \u00a0Thanks to everyone who turned out!<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-780 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl
