		8.23.2004   1:34 PM Live (almost) From Newport Beach Visiting the brotherland a.k.a. Newport Beach in the OC, and I've been at the beach every day since I landed Tuesday. On Friday I got an impromptu surfing lesson from some guys very unhappy with the fact I had pulled out a (heaven forbid) boogie board on their stretch of beach. The only way to deal with the potentially hostile natives was to take instruction with them (actually getting up on the board twice out of about 25 tries), and then partaking in a ritual they called "beer drinking" at a nearby beach bungalow. Today I'm off to the Getty Center to view some art and stuff. (I wish there was an actual store called "Art and Stuff"; better yet a museum . . . ) Nearly three-year-old Katelin, my niece, continues to amaze me. Her favorite thing to do is to jump from chairs, sofas, and roofs in an effort to give her uncle and parental units coronaries. But she is a sweetie.
