Goodbye LA

The last week in LA went like crazy. Having dinner with friends, getting a chance to hear a concert (Messiah) in the new Disney Hall, holiday lunches, and a good-bye lunch for my with librarians from USC's Leavey Library and the Digital Imaging Management crew. We ate outside at a wonderful Italian restaurant downtown LA on Figueroa called . The perfect send-off.

Saturday December 18 I began the long journey home, my car packed to the gills with my own possessions and those of Sharon Yeh (son's ex-fiancee). I took the risky northern route in order to drop off Sharon's bicycle and other items in Loveland CO where she will be moving to study at Colorado State in Fort Collins.

I introduced Sharon, her sister and her brother-in-law to my niece Katie and her boyfriend Jason, who also studies at CSU and enjoys rock climbing. We had a good dinner in old Ft. Collins Sunday evening.
