Hi,
With three more nights on the continent, we're getting that feeling. So much to do, so little time, but soon we'll be home. Thursday was another exciting day in LA.
Our 'Zany Day' song was "Smokey Joe's Cafe", by The Robbins, who later became The Coasters. 'Old School Friday' is next, with what could be an autobiographical sketch by a man that shaped Rock & Roll. You must remember this: "Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans, way back up in the woods among the evergreens... There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood, where lived a country boy name of __ __ __. He never ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play a guitar like ringing a bell..." Hint: It's a name. Artist Hint: Can you Duck Walk?
Our Thursday schedule was very interesting. On our way to run errands, we stopped in front of the duplex where we lived for three decades. The current tenant was in the yard and invited us inside. He had made some beautiful improvements and it felt warm and homey. We also got some gardening ideas as well.
Lisa drove for the first time in a long time and loved it. She had an early breakfast with a friend. We had lunch at the University Club on the campus of USC with another friend. We returned to Eastwind for another Thai dinner with more Valley Cousins. One thing we've noticed from all these visits with friends is that it's becoming hard to remember who said what, when. The information is there, but it's hard to place the source. Hmm, sensory overload.
I got feedback on the relativity of 'cold' and I stand by my statement. Nobody told y'all to go to that cold climate (555). Our bodies actually change and acclimate to the weather where we live, so it's a real thing. Now, turn on that heater. Soon enough, I'll be complaining about how hot it is, maybe.
It seems that 'Chinese Laundry' is a chain of shoe stores. I did not know this, since I don't wear heels. As for the other stores, many of you still hold Fedco and Sav-on dear to your hearts and I was told that Rite-Aid ice cream is still in a Thrifty container. Hmm. I guess we're not the only ones hanging on to the good old days.
Today's photo was taken on our tour of the duplex on Duquesne. This desk was made out of discarded pallets. Very creative.
I just realized that this is the last message from America. We leave on Sunday night, but I will post a travel update from Taipei.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.
Peace,
Danny
