Door

Hi,

Tuesday was another beautiful day here in Culver City. We went to a mall, shopped for wet suits, lunched at one of our favorite places, and had a home-cooked meal with Jeff and The Boys.

Our 'Easy Monday' song was "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. The 'Song of '75' will also be easy. You know this:
"He met __ down in Old New Orleans, struttin' her stuff on the street. She said 'Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go? oh Gitchi, Gitchi Ya Ya Ta Ta, Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya here. Mocha choca lata Ya Ya, Creole __ __." Hint: Song about a Southern Belle by a group who used the last name of the lead singer.

Since we had received gift cards to a department store for Christmas, the only logical thing to do was to go shopping. We went to what we still call the Fox Hills Mall (you know how I love malls) and Lisa redeemed the cards. I stopped at T-Mobile to insure that my phone number would not go away, and we bought a few gifts to take back to Thailand.

We had lunch at Thai Boom, which is one of our old favorites. When Lisa asked if the owners, Woody and Suni, were there (in Thai) the waitress beamed, wai'd and told us they were out. Near the end of our lunch they arrived and we had a great little reunion with them. They visited us in Thailand a few years ago.

Our next adventure was the search for wet suits for swimming in our sometimes cold pool. We went to three shops and the third was the charm. I ended up getting a full length model and the guy in the shop made sure the fit was correct. Now it's just a matter of me taking a deep breath and walking into the water. (555)

After the obligatory nap it was time to prepare for dinner. Lisa made spaghetti with chicken and we dined with Jeff, C-Bass and August. The meal was great and it felt nice to hang out over light conversation.

I spent the evening with a bunch of old friends that I haven't seen in six months. That's always a good thing.

Lisa got an email from Boot letting us know that the dogs are fine and are running every day. Very sweet.

Today the adventure continues.

It's time for Wacky Wednesday

Peace,
Danny
