[286/365] Fortune, Thai Boom Restaurant, Los Angeles, California, USA
I usually don’t eat fortune cookies, and if I don’t eat it, I don’t feel right claiming it as my fortune. This time though, I ate a few bites of it and read my fortune. This was a few weeks ago – what pleasant surprise is in store for me?
[285/365] Moscato d’Asti Wine, Los Angeles, California, USA
We recently celebrated Connie’s birthday with some wine I gave to her 3 or 4 years ago! Moscato d’asti dessert wine. It’s about TIME.
[284/365] Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, USA
A Bay Area icon. Ever wondered why the bridge is painted “International Orange” (that’s the official color name) and not gold? It is actually referring to the Golden Gate Strait – entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

A great mural on a red brick wall.
[282/365] Lion & Giraffe Stuffed Animals, Chelsea Market, Manhattan, New York, New York, USA
Cute and soft!
[281/365] Autumn in Central Park, Manhattan, New York, New York, USA
Lovely seeing all the colorful fallen leaves.
[280/365] Artwork, Flutesong Red, Marilyn Monroe & James Dean, Planet Hollywood Towers, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Always nice to be upgraded to a VIP suite…for free! Loved the art in the room! Merely an artist rendering of two icons together makes for a great print. Does anyone know where I can find a print of this?
[279/365] Salt Ramen, Santouka, Mitsuwa Market, Los Angeles, California, USA
Mmmm… ramen at one of my favorite places to get ramen in Los Angeles!
[278/365] Signs of Life, White Sands National Monument, White Sands, New Mexico, USA
Signs of life in the mostly barren White Sands park.
[277/365] Christmas Ornaments for Sale, Christmas Market, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Pretty (and probably expensive) ornaments at the Christmas Market in Philly!
