I had Red Velvet Cake ice cream
lovely pre-holiday dinner with istope and the parents at the Rustic Canyon Wine Bar, which is very yum and worth a second visit

I keep reading it as “No drugs or monkey”. Things are different (and frankly, more amusing) in my world
Skin and Bones at the MOCA - highly recommended
wandering downtown
Ansel Adams @ Manzanar and then LACMA for Magritte and more fashion
finishing up with dinner at Chairman Mao’s. No more culture for a little while, please
mom and dad visiting for Christmas and a trip to the Getty villa
