LA skyline. pollution!

of course, the hollywood sign!

I spent the past weekend in Long Beach and LA visiting good friends. Just the antidote for a string of weekends when all I did was dream about my clients and agonize over the decisions I had made and anticipated making for the next week. Another week of work is just beginning! But let me dwell just a bit longer on my trip. The weather was sunny and despite being a little chilly was really nice. It was lovely to spend time with friends old and new and see new places like Griffith Park, the Queen Mary, Little Tokyo, and Alhambra. The final day I was there I spent in a Border's Bookstore on near Hollywood Blvd. reading comic books. Bliss! It made it very hard to leave and return to a rainy Oakland. Goodbye sunshine! Goodbye yummy dining! See you soon Angel!
