the palace

the palace of fine arts...
so weird to call it by its full name
i know it simply as "the palace,"
the place where i would stumble around
with a red cup in hand
more than 10 years ago
avoiding my dad
who might just pass by
on a friday night skate.
last night i went to the palace
with my dad
who was honored
with the Governors’ Service Medallion
for outstanding service
to the
National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
He was also nominated for an Emmy for his work on “The War: Bay Area Stories.”
The event itself was pretty boring and I spent most of
the ceremony sending silly texts to Russell.
However, it was cool to get dressed up and have dinner inside the Exploratorium!
