8 am on Jan 1. A cold morning in Portland.
We returned from LA yesterday afternoon. Had a pretty good time, visiting family and doing sight-seeing.
In the course of three hours, we wandered among the celebrity graves at the Hollywood Forever cemetery (seeing Rudolph Valentino, Peter Lorre, CB DeMille, John Huston, Marion Davies, Tyrone Power, Mel Blanc, many others, and the main goals: Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone) and then, a short time later, browsing the VAST music/film offerings at Amoeba music, where, oddly, I happened to encounter films that related to many of the stars we had just visited. It was spooky.
Then, in the next hour, we had a fabulously relaxing round of drinks and snacks at the 'Cat and Fiddle' pub's wonderfully calming courtyard. Ah, Hollywood.
Did many other things, too - will write more if I feel like it. Now, I need to go thru a stack of mail, feed the dog, make some coffee, and be happy that 2007 is History.
