Highlights…

yesterday was pretty cool.

an afternoon trip to lake arrowhead,  one of my favorite youth ministry stomping grounds from another lifetime.   6500 feet…crisp air…beautiful cabins that we used to rent for retreats…an incredible lake  (clear,  blue,  and icy)…smell of pine trees…and tons of memories:

later in the evening,  i got to go to the staples center in downtown los angeles to take in a clippers basketball game.   it was amazing to sit in this famous arena and realize that there were few,  if any,  people there who had been clipper fans longer than yours truly…a loyalist since 1979,  the year they moved to san diego from buffalo.   props to bob mcadoo and world b. free!

and no day in southern california would be complete without a legit nutcase citing:

yes.   this is what it appears to be:   a man in a business suit…driving a shiny PT cruiser…with two, well-coiffed,  large,  black poodles strapped in for an afternoon ride on the pacific coast highway.

i love the motherland.
