Los Angeles, CA: So, after returning home from a trip to the east coast, I had enough time to do laundry & repack, finalize a few logistical details and share a few sweet moments with the boy. Then, I was off again, this time to the left, to the left.... all the way to Los Angeles. This one was a quick trip -- arrive on a Tuesday, show on a Wednesday, flight back home on a Thursday -- but I was still able to catch up with a few friends and get a good dose of 'typical LA-ness' in (as in, sitting next to Courtney Cox during lunch at Jerry's Famous Deli).
A few memorable (photographed) moments:
On the plane ride to LAX... I sometimes wonder if those working on laptops would actually put them away if there were an emergency and they were in charge of our safety...
Hotel directly across the street from the mall? Perfection.
Revisiting one of my favorite restaurants anywhere...
Catching up - at that restaurant - with some of my favorite girls from college days
ok, there was SOME work to be done too
and - as a surprise treat - an former co-worker & same college attender actually worked on the show we did!
wait - TWO people I know worked on the show! My head was about to explode from the excitement...
No time to get to the beach, but I was able to catch it on my way out.
Luckily, I'll be back next month, so in the words of
Ryan Adams,
goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
see ya soon
