~ 2008 Summary ~

* Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka, Eid, Winter Solstice and Happy Holidays! *

2008 was filled with work — lots of it! Days, nights & weekends.
And our Internet startup venture delivered a product about cars on a popular social website named Facebook. Unfortunately the auto business took a wrong turn and we are now changing the software to be about fashion. Wish us luck!

Jane's jewelry design business continues to strengthen. She and her partners moved their store to Studio City which proved to be worthwhile. Internet interest has increased to the point where I must add e-commerce to the web site.

Jane's son, CJ, is a star film editing student at the Pasadena Art Center College of Design. He graduates in 2009. Lauren, her daughter, turned 21 this year! She graduated massage therapy school but has decided to continue with studies. Zutia the cat is adored by the girls and Freeway the dog is getting old but still enjoys his walks.

The big news this year is that Taron, my son, got married and started a family! Rain India Lexton was born September 30th. Taron continues to direct film and his wife, Marisol, is an actress. Hm, I wonder what Rain will grow up to be?

My daughter, Tashania, and her husband have been married ten years already and continue to work for our church. Brandon was promoted to an officer – congratulations!

Dalmain, my father, joined my brother, David, and his family in lovely Hout Bay, South Africa. And beyond that cousins on both sides of the Atlantic added to the family and made grandparents and great grandparents proud!

I still love photography and post the occasional shot on Flickr. Jane and I continue to be active in our church and I plan to devote more time to studies in 2009. Running is a big part of my life and I run the local Dianetics Running Team, taking pictures all the while.

We wish you and yours a New Year in which you flourish and prosper!
And remember, I love to hear from you.

* Happy New Year *

Rain India Lexton

Rain India Lexton was born at 2:18am on 30 September 2008.

I am a grandfather.

Bunny Rabbit

We barely saw the little bundle of fur as it scurried across the road in the fading light and it remained perfectly still as we approached. A tiny rabbit!

Jane immediately looked around for it's mommy and then decided we should take it home. It looked so innocent and small. I went right up to it and it just sat there. Then I wondered if it was injured. Using my T-shirt I put my hands around the tiny animal.

Hop!

It did not want to be picked up. But after checking once again for its mommy and wondering what might eat such a morsel here in the unprotected wild Jane convinced me to try again.

Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop!

No, this little fellow was not going to be taken home. So I pointed out that there was some grass growing in the culvert and the bunny could eat that. With that we left.

I believe this was some dwarf variety of rabbit rather than a baby - I could be wrong but now I want to find out.

In any event it was a remarkable experience to have the creature so unafraid of human contact. Better than coyotes, I guess!

Did I mention he got married?

Yep! April 13th at Celebrity Centre in Hollywood. I'm told it was an "A List" wedding. Plenty of celebs.

My Son is Engaged!

Just received the notification that my son, Taron, is engaged to be married! Yes, it's the beautiful actress he has been dating. Well, at least we know the grandchildren will be good looking. ;)

That's about the age I got married.
