back from Santa Monica again

a fairly successful visit, all in all.
yoga, out to lunch at Fromin's, a wonderful deli with corned beef on rye with cole slaw.
i don't remember my father ever eating french fries as i was growing up. (in fact there is a story that we went out to a diner once when my sister was about 6 or 7 years old, and the waitress asked if she wanted french fries and she asked, "what's french fries?" she literally had never had them...we didn't do fast food.) so i gather that he is making up for lost time. and yummy soup and a visit to the counter to pick up other stuff to take home, like rugelach and blintzes. and rye bread. yum.

the cat was not satisfied with the walk, which i did first thing. so he is outside on the tether while i type, unpack, do laundry and get ready for the week. i also remembered to reset all the clocks. i think i'm pretty quick at remembering how each one works. phew. one of the drawbacks to being away on the day/night that daylight savings time begins.

tomorrow is the adult purim evening. i need a costume. i'm drawing a blank. oh i just realized that it conflict with monday night group. so i'll split the difference. no costume then.

so i did make it down to the ocean. i promised adam that if i'm there for two days, i'll go to the shore. audrey suggested that i take down an old pair of sneakers to leave in the closet. great idea!! i'll do that in two weeks then. take the oldest.

things are just slowing down down there. it's hard in some ways. not so hard in others.

this friday is 11 months, for those of us who are counting. that would include me.
