Thank you, Randy Newman.
This has been a fabulous week in the Land of La-La. As I work full-time remotely, my boss gave me the green light to work from the West Coast this week, so that I can see family and friends that I have not seen in a while.
I’m truly enjoying my time with my niece Kemba. Although I only got to know my sister for a short amount of time, I’m truly blessed to have her daughter in my life. We’ve shared plenty of laughs this week, and I’m really glad that we have reconnected.

Now for a little bit of bragging about my great nephew, MeJean – he’s a senior at Cal State Long Beach, majoring in aeronautical engineering and physics! He did an aeronautical team presentation yesterday in a competition, and his team came in third place out of multiple teams! How AWESOME is that?
Looking forward to my hang tonight with incredibly talented musician Gussie Miller, as we plan on checking out a few bands with some of LA’s top studio musicians. Should be a fantastic opportunity to network, and who knows? I may even sit in on a tune or two.

It’s supposed to be 87° today and 91° tomorrow….i couldn’t ask for better weather. Yesterday was the PERFECT Southern California day – 77°, sunny, and not a cloud to be found…that NEVER gets old.
To friends out here who I did not get to see – I’m tentatively coming back out in early October for the Penn State/UCLA game, so hopefully we can catch up….
Meantime, back to the sunshine and hangin’ with my family….
LA…..I love it!! 😎
