Friday Funnies

Hi,

Thursday was another busy day. We braved the cold for a visit to Universal Studios, Santa Monica Mall, Third Street Promenade, and classic rush hour traffic.

The 'Summer of Love' song was "For What It's Worth", by Buffalo Springfield. That brought back a lot of memories.
Now it's time to go way back for 'Old School Friday': "__ __, I was takin' a bath, long about a Saturday night. Rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub, thinkin' everything was alright..." Clue: This two word title is the sound one might make while bathing. It's from 1958, by a singer who also sang about a knife, and the sea. Hmm.

It was nice to spend a day in L.A. without driving. Anna drove Jeff, August, Lisa, and me out to Universal Studios for what was to be our first visit to the Studio part of the complex. We'd been to City Walk before, but never inside for the attractions. When we arrived we were shocked at the number of people with the same idea. It was also shocking to think of standing in lines in such cold air. We should have known that after a day of rain, there would be an extra large crowd. Just as Jeff got to the window for our tickets, we decided to just go to the City Walk, and return at a later date to go into the main part. We strolled around, looked in some of the stores, and got as far as the Hard Rock Cafe when it was time for lunch. We ate and then started back towards the exit. That's when the people from the 'Water Massage' place enticed Lisa and Anna inside. First they tried the 'Oxygen Bar', which has three bubbling tubes of colored water connected to tubes that you put in your nose. They breathed in through the nose and out through the mouth. I'm not sure what was supposed to happen, but Jeff and I decided that they were being turned into zombies. We had a good laugh about that. After the bubbles stopped Lisa tried a little muscle stimulation device like they use in physical therapy. The next thing we knew, Anna and Lisa were inside the water massage machine. You lie face down, clothed, and when they close the cover, a rubber sheet goes over your body and then jets of water massage you from your shoulders to your feet. Looked interesting but I didn't try it. They enjoyed it though. We left with the little device I mentioned.

August wasn't up to a trip to the mall so we took him home and the four of us went out to Santa Monica. There was a mad crush of traffic as we approached Santa Monica. We managed to park a few blocks away and avoid the parking structures. Whew. This was our first trip to the newly remodeled mall and we were very impressed. We sipped coffee from the observation deck looking out on the Pacific Ocean. That was very relaxing. After that we walked a few blocks of the Promenade. It was a fun day, even in the biting cold. We plan to go back to the mall at some point in our trip. So much to see.

Have a Wonderfilled WeekEnd and I'll see you next year. (Ha) And now, 'The Funnies'.

Peace,
Danny
