~60F in the morning is still too damned cold!

I'm in bed earlier.....I got out of bed later, this morning.  I was up to pee too damned often.  Yeah, of course I toked a couple of times after peeing.  Anyway, without any school this morning and with an 11am volunteer job for the two of us at the Foundation Office of St John's Hospital, I put on the jacket (not the vest) and walked to get the SM Daily Press freebee prior to breakfast.

Will the sun come out later today?  Who the hell knows!  It is now 10:21am and 'it feels like' 63 degrees.  It is colder inside our home - I should move the vent direction to get more heat when the heater is on.  Operavore is on.  Later I will watch the condensed Dodger-Giants game from yesterday....and play piano.......and sketch........

7 Baseball

It is late morning on a wet Saturday as the rains - more than a drizzle but not enough for me to consider taking an umbrella with me were I to go out - have been (more or less) steady since early morning, yesterday.  I'm gonna be indoors all day, today - still in my pajamas - no need to go out.......and our small home is pleasantly, comfortably warm - with a thermal vest atop the pj tops as the central heating keeps our place warm. My life is intertwined with baseball tying so much more than the game into it.  Yeah, 'Baseball is Life'.........I wish I still had that T shirt!  I have been on a baseball odyssey from sometime in September, 1944 when my mother and her sisters Sarah and Faye  and 4 cousins attended Ladies Day at Ebbetts Field where the St Louis Cardinals beat the Brooklyn Dodgers.   Of course I don't remember it!  But it is what I do remember from 18 September 1947 on - far more than just the Dodgers and World Series matters.  I have h...

Deja vu - Spring Street

Image
 Once upon a time I spent a whole lot of time downtown - DTLA.   The was before there was even a section of the city known as DTLA.  In the early 60s, as a student in L.A., I had a part time job for an office equipment leasing company that was located on Spring Street, then, the primary business street of Los Angeles.   I took the E Line to 7th Street and then walked past Grand (and Botega Louie) Avenue to Spring Street.  I passed Clifton's Cafeteria - with that picture showing up on my phone but not the computer - and the jewelry district, getting to what was formerly the legal and financial business centre of LA.  Those buildings are now lofts and some of them look quite interesting for a home conveniently located if one works in that area.  I also passed The Last Book Store - not there when I was there but definitely a place worthy of going back to - best used book store I've seen - in the US!!! Phillipe's has a better french dip than Cole...
