Good Evening, my friends, family, and mishpocheh!
Your always well-meaning host took a week’s break from the toxic weirdness, and spent it with healthier weirdness in my home town of Los Angeles…
Although, yes, I’ve kept up with the news and my outrage at the current situation is as it’s been, and my hopes and prayers for Mr. Mueller and his team are as fervent.
But this is likely the first, and maybe only non-political thing…
Big parts of my visit home were dinner with a dearest friend, since we were 6, and his loving and devoted husband, who cooks his ass off, I’ll offer, and another dearest friend since we 11 who’s trying to retire with 2 stars as a chief in the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. — an honorable friend, brother, and law enforcement officer… one of the good ones that doesn’t make the press, as he’s just doing his gig with no fanfare… They’re trying to offer him a 3rd star if he’ll stay, but, fercryinoutloud the dude’s less than a month and a half older than I and, face it… we’re gettin’ old and life is short… A lovely dinner, a couple of really great IPA’s, and a couple of hours of reminiscing that were all too short..
Bless you, Colin Rose and your loving husband, Paolo, and bless you Chief John Benedict… good people from my youth, amazing people in our early old-age… <gentle smile>
If WordPress doesn’t barf at the file size, I’ll just offer my personal honor to my late parents…
The highest point of my visit home.
I’ll get political in a day or so… right now just kinda trying to bask in the leftover Reseda, Venice Beach and Hollywood thing, thanks… <chuckle>
