Still Alive

Hey everyone. I'm still ok here in the City of Angels, though I haven't found it to be that, exactly (extra credit if you get the reference). I'm having difficulty uploading photos from my work laptop because all photos go into shortcut folder and I can't see what I'm trying to upload. There are over 145 so it's too time consuming to fish through right now, but I will.

So, catching up...

Last Thursday I picked up the little lady at work and we went on a date at Hermosa Beach. We were even serenaded by a strange looking gentleman on the pier. Here is a sample lyric: "I left my legs at the United Nations, ants are crawling on me giving strange sensations." I took a great deal of poetic license with that, but his words were similar, with more f-bombs peppered in throughout. We ate a fantastic Brazilian Barbecue joint, and saw a man catch a stingray from the pier and then put it between two slices of bread and take a bite. It's a crazy place, but beautiful. I dropped Bobbi off at LAX and then headed back. On the way back to the hotel, I couldn't help but think how lucky I am to have her in my life. She made an opposing coastline feel like home, if only for a few hours. Everyone who's been in a loving relationship knows that you get accustomed to it, even if it's blissful. But there are times when you're reminded of just how great you have it, and it gives you a lift. Mules wearing berets! Now, we're back to the normal tone of a Crimes post. And with that, I leave you.

Here are my three California tunes:

Going to California - Led Zeppelin
California Love - Tupac and Dr. Dre
Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
