Don't Fake The Funk

Back From LA

I took almost five hundred fifty pictures but it doesn't seem like enough. Isn't that strange? It feels like I didn't document the trip enough. Still, 550 pictures in nine days is pretty good. I pared it down to about 425 so people don't get too bored viewing them.

I learned that my generation of family is just as loud and boisterous when we get together as my mom's generation. Except we don't play Mahjongg. It's all about Texas Hold 'Em. Not that we played that much, which is a good thing. Jason and Brian would probably jack me for all my money. Which amounts to about $2, but still. Also, everybody has a dog. And one turtle. And everyone in my family is generous. Almost like enjoy the company of their east coast relatives.

Let's see... the funniest thing that happened to me on the trip occurred at King's Hawaiian restaurant. I said, "... phone sex!" just as the waitress Brianna was putting a basket of bread on my table. She made a face but she still agreed to take a picture with Big Beau and his pink shirt.

The theme for the trip was definitely "What's The Capital Of Thailand?" thanks to Joel. And of course, there was his "next door" play in basketball.

Overall, it was a great trip, made especially eventful by Chris who drove us everywhere and back, and one I wish I could make every year. I should have gone with Lola to California back in the day when she used to visit every year.

Maybe I ought to move there.

Oh and the one and only movie star we saw was Ernie Hudson at LAX airport on the day we left Los Angeles.
