THE dining room table decorated for summer.

• Gr-gr-great Grandma Ba’s dining table. Here it is decorated for summer. I had lots of fun roaming Bobbie’s house with a camera in hand. Below you can see a bit of the High Victorian carved table feet. Mother used to say that Grandmother Ba would wrap the feet in newspaper so they wouldn’t get scratched by mother and her brother, Uncle Charlie.

• Meeting to meet the new employee today. Only she is an old one that we are fond of. They have begun laying off employees. Full timers are splitting jobs. Part Timers and temps are gone. Offices are gone. Programs that didn’t make money are gone. I poked at our big boss to write a letter of recommendation for our one dear lady who was let go. No one is happy she is gone. Great chaos in the meeting about this.

The Broad Museum.

The Frank Gehry Walt Disney Concert Hall.

• I’m not fond of Frank Gehry’s architectural structures. I need to learn to like the moderns, but my mind cannot seem to take in the chaos his work offers to the eye. The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Was replaced by this building, and tho I might hate the Look of it, it is praised for its acoustics.

Himself: Gym this morning. Got an appointment with my bone doc for his knee. Very exciting stuff. G got a bonus of 2 baseball tickets for field seats as a bonus.

Myself: Meeting with an old friend who relapsed. Very sad about losing such a cheerful and positive person at work. Remembered to thank Bobbie for the wonderful three days. Sending one of the new colorful cards off to Dixie.

Reading: The Librarian book 3.

Gratitude’s: That we all are surviving the heat pretty well. And it is very hot here.
