PS: The post about my Levis wasn't supposed to go up until the end of the week - so I put it back in the vault. Let's look at the Oscar Nominees first.

I'm back....

Good to be back...

Good to leave...

Just good to be going somewhere.

The excitement that comes with a possible adventure in the future. *Change* is exciting. Unless you’re looking for change between the cushions of your car at the Jack In The Box drive through... that’s not exciting.

So, I return to Los Angeles, we have a monster rain storm (in LA, a couple of inches of rain means they have to close some roads), then I got hit with a killer cold... and now my nose has stopped running, but my To Do List has grown so *I* have to start running.
