Almost 90 degrees one day in LA... man oh man, talk about California dreaming on such a winter's day! Some nice time with family and even a rare smile on my grandfather's face for a photo! I toured the various strip malls in the area and did my part as well to watch my quot
a of Hollywood in this entertainment capital of the world. Actually did see "Munich" in the theatres which impressed me immensely. And also benefited from the good ethnic foods in the area-- a Jewish deli, various Italian and Mexican fares, lots of Asian restaurants too but somehow missed these. And finally got to some good games of chess as you can see in the studious photo below, where I found out my grandfather is far more aggressive on the chessboard than I've ever seen him in real life!
He was chasing me all around and into so many corners that for nearly 30 minutes both games my heart was beating and throat was dry trying to figure out where he was going and how to get there just a moment before. Luckily in both cases I managed to escape the hand I felt slowly tightening around me, and elude it long enough for him to make some oversights of his own... a thoroughly entertaining time, and he was holding home court advantage!
And here is a last photo I life of the candles I took-- like the dynamitism of this flame and seeing the little hairs of the wick stick out-- try clicking on it to see a bigger view...
