LA Times

I just spied a couple of men wearing capri pants.


That should be enough to clue you in that I've been in LA again, visiting the family here and helping with Tommy's treatments. It's questionable how much "help" one can really provide as Tommy is clearly shouldering the physical burden, but it helps me to be close by.

Speaking of Tommy, here he is, hanging out with his best friend, Lyla:



How's he doing? With the exception of nagging side effects, he's weathering the storm like a trooper.

During my time here, I was able to guilt Chris and Sunny into taking me to an RV show at the Rose Bowl, and as this picture portrays, they were overjoyed with the experience.



Afterwards, we visited Koreatown, and powered our way through a massive luncheon feast. The Korean grocery store we visited afterwards was teeming with Saturday shoppers who uttered not one word of English. Did you know rice could be purchased in 20-pound bags?

I embarked on a few mid-range bike rides, once going to the Pacific and [reluctantly] turning around and heading back to Brentwood (pedaling past OJ's former home). There were plenty of bike lanes available. Saint Charles, take note!




While dining in the neighborhood Souplantation eatery, we spotted the actor who plays Toby Flenderson on The Office. Note: when you see someone in St. Louis who resembles a celebrity, it's probably not who you think, but when you see a familiar face in Los Angeles, the odds are it's exactly who you think it is.

By the time you read this, I'll be back in good ol' Missouri, where men don't wear capri pants unless they're also wearing a football helmet.
