Hi,
Friday in L.A. was full of adventure. I had an early breakfast, Lisa had lunch in the Marina, we shopped, and there was a graduation. Those are the high points.
The 'Bad Ass Bass' tune was "Bootzilla" by Bootsy's Rubber Band, featuring Bootsy Collins on Bass. Christopher and Rikke knew it. Now you know. For 'Old School Friday', try this: "I can't lose with the stuff I use (__ __ __ __ __)
Baby don't believe I wear two left shoes (__ __ __ __ __) Ah, ha, ha, ha (repeat) Ey eh, oh (repeat) Gooba, gooba, gooba, gooba (repeat) Ah ha ha ha (repeat)...." Hint: It's by a guy whose middle name is the instrument he plays. He also had a song about a rhythmic illness that he contracted.
I had breakfast with my good friend Michael. We met at Dinah's before the morning rush. I got an update on his kids, and all facets of his life. Then we dove into things like world issues and the state of things. It was a very stimulating morning.
On the way to the Marina to drop Lisa off for a lunch date I noticed something else of interest. There are more electric bicycles on the road than the last time we were here. I've seen some store-bought models and some homemade cycles that clip along pretty quickly. There's a customized golf cart that really caught my eye. With the rising cost of gas, more and more people are turning to alternatives and electric is becoming a strong choice.
In the afternoon we spent some time with Nid, over at Emerald Thai Cuisine. He's been a dear friend and we always show him pictures from 'home'. It's been a long time since he's seen Thailand and it gives him joy to see photos. He enjoys Lisa's art and today he got a big kick out of her cast acrylic prints featuring The King.
After a very brief nap it was time to get ready for the graduation ceremonies. C-Bass graduated from St. Monica's High School. His grandmother and aunt flew down from Northern California for the event. It was held on the campus of Loyola University and there was a huge crowd. The last time we went to a graduation was many years ago at Hamilton High. When the ceremony was over we took pictures of 'the grad' and then went to dinner. C-Bass picked the restaurant so we had to comply. It was a store front sushi place that is tiny, but very popular. Our food was delicious even though we couldn't hear each other talk.
The Graduate
Back at the house, after the graduation dinner, we had cake and C-Bass got congratulation cards. It's amazing to think that we've known him since birth and now he's a high school graduate.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist
If there is now self, whose arthritis is this?
Be here now. Be somewhere else later. Is that so complicated?
Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.
Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems. What would you talk about?
There is no escaping Karma. In the previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault it that?
Breath in. Breath out. Breath in, Breath out. Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.
