CALIFORNIA HERE I COME!

It’s been a while since I was out there. I think it was 2007, when I left, and I look forward to seeing #1 Son and the lovely Courtney (TLC2), my future daughter (in-law). I don’t like that designation.

Being in the land of sunshine and TLW (The Little Woman) and I will spend some quality time together viewing the Getty Museum, one of my favorite places in the whole world. When I used to go out there for business, I loved the sunny bright mornings near my office, and would often walk to the place from my hotel. At night, returning back to my hotel, I would stop along the way at one of the many restaurants and enjoy a quiet meal in solitude, looking at the people who came to dine. Many like myself would eat alone.

Eating alone as a whole is not my favorite thing to do, however, if I had a long hard day, it becomes a respite, even in a restaurant. No one is talking at you, you can either mull over the events of the day, or you can plan for a better time. That: the later is what I would do.

When I was at the Getty, without TLW, I kept wishing she were with me. It felt like I was a widower, and that is a very lonely feeling. Besides, when I saw something that excited me, I had no one to share it with.

I plan to go to some of the tourist attractions, and maybe see Josh Peck, if #1 Son will arrange it for us. I want to get a small movie clip for a very special friend who I never met, but I hope to someday. I want Josh Peck to say: “Hello Ava!” then I can go home happy that along with TLC2 and #1 Son and TLW, the trip was worth the while.

So, after this crazy winter we are having, I will really enjoy myself.
