Gail and I flew out yesterday to Los Angeles for a week of vacation. We're here because I was asked to officiate at a wedding. But we could sure use the breather.
On our agenda is Mexican food. And plenty of it. We also managed a lunch yesterday at Polly's Pies. And I've already opened up a box of See's Candies sugar free peanut brittle. We had dinner with a bunch of friends last night, then crashed. It takes me about 3 days to adjust to the time difference.
Now I gotta go out and find a cup of coffee!

All of us on Christmas Day.
No telling what I may write about. But, hopefully whatever it is will be beneficial to those reading.
The passions behind this blog
Everyone is passionate about something. Who I am and who I am becoming as a man, a husband, a father, grandfather, retired pastor, leader and Christ-follower all work together to shape my passions.
If I think I've got some wisdom or insight to share, I'll share it. If I have a question to ask, I'll ask it. If something in the news strikes me I may comment on it. I won't shy away from controversy, but neither will I tolerate what we call in the south "ugly" behavior in readers' comments.
If you enjoy it, great! Glad to have you along. If you don't, that's OK, too. Thanks for stopping by.

Have a wonderful time!!
Oh Rick, you and Gail just have a WONDERFUL time of R & R...and enjoy all of your friend's wonderful Mexican cooking, that you raved about so much after your last visit out there! And enjoy sunsets, instead of sunrises, over the ocean!
Yummy!!! I absolutely LOVE See's candy!!
I miss Polly's Pie Hamburgers. They don't have those up here in Nor. Cal.
Have a great vacation
Two days - 3 pieces of pie - two Mexican meals.
Life can't get much better.
Don't overdose on frijoles refritos. Remember you are a guest in someone's house.
I am soooo Jealous! Next you are going to tell us you have gone to In & Out Burger! I miss living in CA! Have a great time!
Wish I could have been at the get-together with friends!!
Eat a piece of Marie Callendar's for me (my favorite is Chocolate Cream, but anykind will do!!) Tell everyone hello!!
Denise,
I don't eat at In N Out. To me their burgers are nothing special. But, I do get their t-shirts.
Rosi,
I think the pies we ate Thursday night were from MC's. Terry brought them. Mine was boysenberry.
Welcome to California! Have a great and realaxing time the two of you and enjoy every bite of Mexican food you find, which in California is not too difficult!! :)
j
Rick and Gail,
Glad you are enjoying some R and R time in So Cal! Gotta love that See's! Too bad they don't have it (along with good Mexican food) on the East Coast! =( Enjoy your time here.
