I learned nothing.
My daughter is now an “adult”. Bittersweet.
Enjoyed the gourmet Mexican restart, YXTA, our tenth new restaurant of the year.
Dropped Brit off at UCR for orientation. Less than a month to go. The other girl is Brit’s future teammate and roommate.
Enjoyed a showing of Bill Murray’s “Stripes” at the LA Historic State Park on the outskirts of downtown.
Tried the Dirty Sanchez burger (ground beef, pastrami) from the El Burger food truck.
