Los Angeles: 5,382 -- I Heart Palindromes: 0
You will note to the right that it is rather California outside today. It was just as I was thinking this that our CFO popped his head into my office to tell me that the office is closing at 12:30 today. Yeah, we're in Los Angeles, we do that kind of thing. The market hasn't even closed in New York and these guys are already on the golf course. Given that it's 12:13 at the moment, I figured this post would be as good a way as any of capping the week.
All I want to do is tuck into the corner of La Grande Orange with Boondock, a few beers, some travel-plan schematics and a lot of conversation. In lieu of that I am going to go hit the links with Uncle #3 of 5 and then probably head back to his house for a family dinner. Yes I am lame, I have learned to embrace it. It tastes like freedom.
When I first moved out here I couldn't understand why anyone would put up with Los Angeles. After a few weekends kicking around town with my favorite VT it became much more evident. I am going to try to embrace that to the full extent of my somewhat limited abilities.
Uncle #3 of 5 made a comment to me shortly after I informed him that I was moving west, one that hinted that my presence in CA ran counter to the natural order of things. Well, I have to admit that I am not so sure the world is the way it should be at the moment, things seem non-sensically out of place, so I might as well embrace being off-kilter for a bit. Always hoping for a mean reversion, I remain the eternal optimist. I also remain taller than average.
The sun can't fix those things but it can certainly make it an ounce or two better.
Lastly, as an aside, I realized today that the audience for this blog has expanded beyond what I had realized. With that in mind, from the bottom of my heart... I promise I will try to be funnier. No warranty about results but effort will abound.
