The Long Highway

Reposted here from Saturday, when I posted to the wrong blog:

This week has been very busy and productive, so apart from some vacuuming, this is a day off!

Slept very late today and enjoyed that thoroughly.

Last night we drove over to Santa Monica to meet Genevieve's friend Wendy at her hotel. Wendy is in town for a wedding and is staying an extra day with us on Sunday. So glad for G to have some bonding time with her good friend.

Also yesterday, talked my good friend and chef extraordinaire Joe O'Brien into flying over from Vegas to see The Who at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday. Cheap tickets were available using our Amex card so we went for it, and I booked a flight for Joe -- he'll zip in on Monday and back out early Tuesday morning.

Today made a quick breakfast and settled in to watch the Cubs play the Giants, with Greg Maddux going for his 300th win. He only lasted just long enough to get the official win, in a game which was hairy but in the end a solid victory for the cubs.
