Boomerang


Hi,

The weather on the Westside was a lot cooler today.  I didn't pack for this so you'll have to turn up the heat a bit.  

This really was an 'Easy Monday' song judging by the responses.  It's a Golden Oldie with a sound that ruled the airwaves for a time.  "I've know of your, your secluded nights.  I've even seen her, maybe once or twice.  But is her sweet expression worth more than my love and affection?  But this time before you leave my arms, and rush off to her charms... __! __ __ __ __ __, before you break my heart... Think it over."  Hint:  (555) (Hahaha)  

This morning we met with our dear friend Blue at a Starbuck's.  We saw him at the birthday party but didn't get a chance to really talk.  His son Ming is graduating from Stanford next month.  We talked about many things, laughed a lot, and I enjoyed watching the coffee-shop subculture.  

I went from the Starbuck's meeting to a lunch date with my good friend Seth.  He has a reoccurring role on 'Weeds' and just finished another episode.  We always have insightful conversations when we get a chance to spend some time talking.  

We tried to take a nap this afternoon but it wasn't in the cards.  Between mental distractions and outside noise it just wasn't happening, but just resting is good sometimes.

                           Nap Time in the Market

This evening we drove out to Hidden Hills to spend some time with Cousin Martha and her daughters.  Since we were in Thailand when the memorial service for Joel was held, we wanted to visit with them and talk about how everyone is doing.  It was a very touching evening, learning about how the girls were coping and how Martha dealt with all that happened.  Knowing how strong they are in the face of his passing is a comfort.  

I have noticed more and more small motorcycles and scooters on the streets of L.A.  Before you know it you'll be riding around on little motorbikes like the rest of the world.  Considering the price of gas, can it be that far in the future?  The big difference will be the number of passengers.  I'm sure that no more than two on a bike will be allowed.  There is a law stating that in Thailand, but it's still possible to see between three to five on a bike.  It's also a bit odd to see pick-up trucks here with no people riding in the beds.  At home we commonly see from two to fifteen in the back of a pick-up, with many standing, their faces to the wind.  I guess safety comes slowly in the evolution of a country.  Hmm.

Have a Happy Tuesday

                               Peace,
                                          Danny
