Day Trip to Los Angeles

Los Angeles was wonderful, warm and relatively clear. I had a nice visit with my mom and scanned in a bunch of old photos. The sunset from San Dimas looking toward the city, with all the smoke from the fires, was amazing. What wasn't amazing was the way the LA Dodgers played and now they are out of the World Series.

Isn't this a great photo. It was taken by my father of my mom in 1948 before they were married.

"9 to 5" was fun, pretty true to the movie with lots of new songs and dancing. The staging was awesome. Allison Janney stared as Violet. This play is definitely for chicks. The guys must have been at the Dodger game seeing them get their butts kicked. But since the San Diego Padres were dead last in their league, guess I should keep my mouth shut.

Now we are off to the Colorado River for some water skiing and our traditional deep-fried turkey. If the weather holds we should have a great weekend. Will be back late Sunday and will have no phone, no TV and no Internet until then. Yipee.

Later.

Play Date

This evening I have a play date in Los Angeles to see the new "9-5" musical. I've had these same seats at the Ahmanson Theater for more than thirty years and I can't seem to let them go.


I'll be stopping by to see my Mom on the way to the play. She just returned from Milwaukee, WI and Huntsville, AL and brought back more than 100 photos from relatives. I can't wait to see them all. I'm bringing my scanner and laptop. Should have plenty of time to go for dinner afterward.

Most of yesterday was spent backing up the files on my computer. I've got to stop renaming files. It's a double edge sword because I rename a file so I can find it easier but then I create a bunch of duplicate files on the back up devices.

Later.
