Mellow Yellow

Sorry, crankyjewishguy (CJG) got a late start this morning owing to the fact that he spent a couple of hours walking along the beachfront in Santa Barbara where the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the home prices are exorbitant. You see, CJG and his older son, the one who attends Harvard on St. Charles a/k/a Tulane University, have been spending some quality time taking one the great American road trips down the California coast. CJG figures, if your 20-year-old son is willing to spend a week with you (a) you've done something right as a parent and (b) seize the precious moment because it may not come again. There isn't much to be cranky about when the scenery is jaw-dropping, the air warm, and the seafood fresh. So, amigos, hasta manana. Tomorrow, CJG and son will be in L.A. That should give us plenty to complain about.
