Happy Birthday, Anna!

Took some clients from Louisiana to the new restaurant, Avra in Beverly Hills. P. Diddy came to our table and introduced himself which I think solidified our relationship with our clients for a long time. Thanks, Puffy.

The dogs hate nothing more than when random cats show up at the front door.

Took an Alabama client out to dinner and we ran into a vendor and our UPS driver to prove LA is a small town.

Exploring Highland Park. The next hotspot.

Travel

My passport is one of my favorite processions. Unfortunately, it is time to retire my current one for a fresh one.  Growing up, I was enamored by alamanacs and globes. I dreamed about traveling the world, but didn’t get my first passport until I was 35 years old.  I’m pretty sure the delay is why I go to places like Mongolia. R.I.P first passport….
