Banal

Finally on Sunday, mom was able to leave the hospital and go back to her hovel that is improving somewhat – the street cleaners did a major purge of all the apartment regurgitation along her block. Sunday was a nice linger in the bed sort of day except for a lot of phone calls that kept waking me from my resleep. Then Sunday night was a lovely dinner of green onion sausage from Terranova at L’s and the company was good. Then Monday was nonstop phone day.

There is some movement happening on the LaLa – electrician tomorrow, floor guy Wednesday, and expectations of the framers showing up in another week or so. Of course, still no idea of the scope of cost on this enterprise.

Talk this week at work is centered around hoping for the buy out – if and when it does happen. But no one knows really at this point. 55 targeted – 38 responses. We’ll see where that leads.

The parades have all been shuffled around time wise – a lot starting earlier than they should, none in midcity as they even moved Endymion uptown which of course means it will never come back here.

S called from LA and then Oakland with his game plan – sigh – and the rock rolls. Yet there is champagne to drink, and more dividing up to do, and so it goes.

The sun was out today but chilly and rain expected in spades for the parades this weekend – we’ll hope that rain passes us by, we can take a little cold, but rain on a parade is never good.
