MY GUIDING PHILOSOPHY: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED, MAINTAIN SOME SORT OF BALANCE,
PUSH HARD AGAINST ADVERSE WINDS, AND DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY.

Happy New Year from LA

We just spent some time in Los Angeles, courtesy Jose and Erik, in a lovely apartment just off Wilshire Blvd in Hollywood.  Jose is in LA for six weeks on the National Tour of "The King and I" and treated us royally!

Biggest surprise of all--Jose and Erik announced their engagement.  Yay!!!

La La Land.....


Of course, we got to see Jose's show with Veronica and Max and it was truly spectacular--Broadway in LA!!  Can't wait for it to arrive in D.C. in July/August.

All revved up and ready to go before the big show


Jose treated us to a tour backstage--with Buddha supervising

The main street in Venice Beach--love those palm trees 

We stopped for coffee and juice at a great cafe on the main street 

Lunch al fresco at Rose Cafe in Venice Beach

Crazy skateboarders--this guy nearly hit me but turned just in time!

Venice Beach--amazingly, the water is too cold to swim--so they say

New Year's Eve party at A-M and D's house in Venice Beach

Next day, a superb brunch at the Misfit in Santa Monica

Time to go home (sob).  Back to winter for the East Coasters!
