Downtown at a rainy dusk, May 23rd, 2008JUST A QUICK little post to highlight an enjoyable evening. An evening that capped a crazy day of shuffling jobs, paperwork, estimates and billing. The kind of stuff that bogs you down and makes you heart pound with the stress of getting it done.
The finish line was making it out to El Segundo in time to meet my father-in-law for dinner. Just the two of us, at the bar. A few drinks, dinner, and conversation. He's a good man, who raised an exceptional daughter. He's also talented at what he does- and a good storyteller. In short, it was a good night.
Coming home, I was struck by how sometimes, when you let go of the lifetime accounting columns, you realize you have it pretty good. Sure, maybe not all the things you wanted to do by now are done, but all in all, life is beautiful.
Wrapped in that warm thought, with the stereo playing Phoenix, I drove home. I even indulged my inner photographer- and illegally took the car pool ramp onto the 110 north to take in the sweeping vistas of central city, wrapped in the unseasonal rainy skies. Nothing like risking a $271 fine for a good view...
