As I've been saying, Tomorrow (today when this is published) I fly to LA for two weeks.

This is my longest stay in LA ever, by a couple of days.

I may, as the mood suits me, post blogs while I'm there. Any blog I post will be primarily a Comment. If I eat anything interesting, I might post that, but I won't be weighing myself until I get home.

My cold is better, but not gone. That could be a problem on the flight, but other than that, I only have the occasional cough now, and runny nose when I drink something hot.

LA is wonderful for a visit. It checks none of my boxes for places to live, though (because there isn't a living-near-your-son box, which would be checked for LA and that's it). But... I enjoy my visits and it is a cultural feast (except for the music scene, where if you're at the top of the pile you can play and work, but for the rest of the musicians, there is no supportive music community, as far as I can tell)
. Kind of the opposite of what I love in Syracuse.  (But I could just not know the right people, which is more likely).

It is a wonderful place for restaurants, too. Also, kind of the opposite of Syracuse. The food is varied, often extraordinary, and great authentic ethnic representation. As Alex has gotten older and his tastes have matured, I have benefited greatly on two fronts: First, he has embraced a large variety of foods unimaginable during his picky-eating younger days, and second, he knows what I like.

I'm ever so grateful for my opportunities.

Diet Comment
After coming back from Thailand, I got a little sick for a few days, and got to my lowest weight of the year on January 25th. I just got over (mostly) being a little sick, and today, eight months later, I've matched that weight. A good thing I am at a low, because I see no way two weeks in Los Angeles (that begins tomorrow) won't put some weight on.
