Tom & Alissa

Now that Tom’s between projects, I’m usually up before him. That’s ok. Early morning is the only time during the day when I’m by myself, so I like to get up a little early and read and do things to start my day. Because we live in a studio, it’s inevitable that I wake him up eventually with some floorboard creak or a dropped spoon or just the noise of movement. When that happens, we usually have a conversation of some kind before we go about our separate ways for the day.

When he woke this morning, he said, “My dream last night had deleted scenes that played after the dream. Good ones, too.” (Also, he and Philip Seymour Hoffman were trying to stop a train that was going to Harvard, and were dressed in superhero costumes.)
