Happy Independence Day!

This summer will be our third summer in L.A. Wow, time flies! In that time we have managed to pick up some traditions, you know, things we do every year. Well, actually, it's more like we have adopted Steve and Wendy's summer traditions, which I think is all the better because they have already perfected the traditions. One is watching the fireworks at Santa Monica College from the lawn of the institute building and another is going to the Hollywood Bowl, both of which we did this week. Two years ago at the Hollywood Bowl we saw the LA Philharmonic and Kenny Loggins, last year was the LA Philharmonic and Gladys Knight, and this year was the LA Philharmonic and..we'll it was a Dodger's 50th Anniversary celebration. So there were a lot of old Dodgers players, the Dodgers announcer, the organist Nancy Bea Hefley, and Randy Newman (the guy who sings "You've Got a Friend in Me", not sure how he relates to the Dodgers). We had a great time and really enjoy our new (borrowed) tradition.
