to a

stand still

yippy

zipper

unstuck

My beloved asks, "Do you know why they call it the '405?'" 

"No, I don't."

"Because you don't know if it will take you FOUR o' FIVE hours to get where you're going!"

Recently, the transition from the 101 to the 405 was so slow that my charmin' Garmin GPS screen asked me if I wanted to switch to Pedestrian Mode. Alone in the car, I laughed out loud. If I COULD have ditched the car and walked to Santa Monica, it might have been faster.

Curious, Sunday afternoon, to see the line-up of cars at the Forest Lawn exit in both directions off the 134. So sad. Too many dead dads. Now, we know where all the flowers have gone!

Hoping you had a pleasant day in which to remember the dads who may be close to your heart.

My favorite father is very lively and he's the one my children are lucky enough to call "Dad." 

Feliz dia de los padres, Pun!
