![[2025-01_Random_1_web.jpg]] Seeing our buddy Mandel in Los Angeles after touring Warner Brothers studio during [[New Year's Eve in Los Angeles]]. ![[2025-01_Random_2_web.jpeg]] Wednesday Bingo with Stegar, who was off saying hello to another table. So excited he is moving back to Palm Springs full time. ![[2025-01_Random_3_web.jpeg]] Taking a (great) recommendation from Mandel to watch **The Traitors** -- chaotic energy this season but we're enjoying it. ![[2025-01_Random_4_web.jpeg]] Starry night in Rancho Mirage. ![[2025-01_Random_5_web.jpeg]] Oh hello there! ![[2025-01_Random_6_web.jpeg]] Managed to step outside just in time for this gorgeous moment... no filter! ![[2025-01_Random_7_web.jpeg]] ![[2025-01_Random_8_web.jpeg]] Whenever we're down at the house, always some sort of interesting house issue to resolve. This time around, the gas heat for the pool either doesn't work at all or heats the huge pool up crazy warm... (don't worry, this was surface temp -- the entire pool was not 103F) ![[2025-01_Random_9_web.jpeg]] Amazing -- I've managed to keep an orchid alive long enough for a second bloom! These two buds popped, and one more on the way. ![[2025-01_Random_10_web.jpeg]] Finally tried Dough Joy after buying a couple books at the used book store. Very tasty! ![[2025-01_Random_11_web.jpeg]] And caught the tour of Kimberly Akimbo at Paramount Theatre and add it to the [[Shows I Have Seen]] list. ![[2025-01_Random_12_web.jpeg]] Flying back to CA again. ![[2025-01_Random_13_web.jpeg]] Dinner with Jerry at Las Casuelas. ![[2025-01_Random_14_web.jpeg]] Moonfall in the back yard. ![[2025-01_Random_15_web.jpeg]] Not Covid - just a cold! Wear masks on planes, friends. ![[2025-01_Random_16_web.jpeg]] A jaunt to Danza Del Sol for a wine tasting with Colin. ![[2025-01_Random_17_web.jpeg]] ![[2025-01_Random_18_web.jpeg]] ![[2025-01_Random_19_web.jpeg]] ![[2025-01_Random_20_web.jpeg]] Live Music by "Rideshare Jazz" ![[2025-01_Random_21_web.jpeg]] ![[2025-01_Random_22_web.jpeg]] Back to Seattle we go again! ![[2025-01_Random_23_web.jpeg]] Realfine Coffee and morning pages -- did them consistently throughout January. ![[2025-01_Random_24_web.jpeg]] Kasen making an excellent dinner for the family! ![[2025-01_Random_25_web.jpeg]] ![[2025-01_Random_26_web.jpeg]] That was a great month -- and I think I'm going to go back into the archives and add more of the random photos not neccessarily worthy an entire gallery of their own but provide a nice little peak into the prior month's life.
