After the Sunset Junction Street Fair

I happened to drive by as they were breaking down the kiddie rides.

Chinese Delivery

I figured since I was staying in on a Saturday night I'd treat myself to...

CHINESE DELIVERY!

When the delivery guy showed up I stepped outside to sign the credit slip.

Leaving Gf inside behind the screen door to watch the transaction.

He was an older asian man and he stared at Gf while I signed.

He asked a bit puzzled, "Your d0g is very quiet; it doesn't talk?"

I replied, "No. I got lucky. I rarely hear a sound out of her."

He said, "I am used to going to places and having the d0gs go crazy."

I shook my head as I handed him the slip, "Nope, not here."

Before he left he bent down & made a funny goofing his racial stereotype:

In a thick sing-song asian accent he said to her, "Ah, a so good d0g."

Then he reassured her, "A so good d0g like-a you don't-a end up in stir fry."

OR NOT...

(I took this one block from my place. Probably a lunch break, but still funny.)

HELLISH APPARATUS

And just why is the seat next to Edwin vacant on this ride?

Let me tell ya...

After they strapped us in I began to have a serious claustrophobic episode.

I made the attendant hold up the ride while they unhooked me from this...

HELLISH APPARATUS.

I told the guy after I hopped off, "Yea, I have a little more living I wanna do."

Scenes from Six Flags Magic Mountain

Yesterday my friend Edwin and I made our way to Magic Mountain.

I quickly discovered that I am way too old for this SH!T.

Don't ask Robin, he don't know either...

Walked right by this ride. Ain't no freakin' way.

Colossus, like me - an old classic!

A Little Deeper

I hung out with an old friend Friday night who is going to quit smoking,

"Yea, that's what I am giving my father for his 70th birthday next month."

Confused I asked, "What are you giving him?"

He replied, "I'm gonna quit smoking."

I dug a little deeper, "Isn't that more for you?"

He laughed and then confessed, "Well, it's all I can afford right now."

I joked, "When my birthday rolls around - I like store-bought stuff better!"

From the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific

A lovely afternoon with sea stuff.

Jellyfish are so cooooool.

Look-see: and a video - how I spoil.

A Scene from the L.A. Subway, Part 2

This guy came on-board and stood at the front of the car and asked for help.

"I'm blind. I could really use some of your spare change."

Nobody stirred. "I'm blind. I'll prove it."

He reached up and popped out his left eye and held it up.

He put it back and then reached up and popped out his right eye, "See?"

I turned to my friend, "I do see. Apparently much better than him."

I took photo on the subway while heading down to Long Beach yesterday.

Electric guitar street performer vs annoyed old-lady tourist.

The humor speaks for itself.

Neil Diamond Exhibit at Grammy Museum

Yesterday I finally made my way to the Grammy Museum in downtown LA. It has been boasting about its Michael Jackson display but much better and to my surprise, they also had a Neil Diamond exhibit.

My beloved father raised me on Neil Diamond.

Above, the outfit he wore during his Hot August Night's at the Greek Theater.

Owing to my father I heard more Diamond than any other artist growing up.

To this day I still listen to Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits. Yep, it's on my iPod.

In this I am my father's proud son.
