Welcome to the City of Angels - we are brown and proud! Beat you to the punch Mayor Ray Nagin. Los Angeles is the real chocolate. Ariba!!

Almost late to work today, there was a seven Latino student pile-up on the 101 (story here). I witnessed a human pyramid in the shape of a gang sign. At least they were in the carpool lane.

And hats off to UCLA Men’s Basketball for returning tradition, glory and discipline to the campus in Westwood, just north of Wilshire and a stone’s throw away from the Federal Building, site of many famous protests (me: tying two completely unrelated current events together - Amnesty and The Final Four).

As you can tell, I’m tired.

Tomorrow I get a cavity filled on a tooth which requires an inlay —> aka not cheap.

I save by shopping at Vons.
