Los Angeles, California: Lisa and Leo are feeling so much better after two days of Bubbe's home cooking on antibiotics. Leo is still pulling on his ear occasionally, but isn't letting a little strep throat/ear infection stop him from causing all sorts of chaos and nothing seems to stop him from constant movement. He is no longer contagious.


We retired to the back garden, and switched from aviation to baseball.

Leo has gymnastics class on Tuesday mornings. Many of the girls in his posse are in the class as well, so DT and I had a great time seeing Leo's little friends and their parents again. Leo really likes the class and is impressively agile, quick and strong.


a very tired, hot and hungry toddler, and the view to downtown Los Angeles.
As long as we were in the area, we had lunch at one of the little restaurants at the base of the observatory where all the hipsters dine on turkey bacon, and you have a pretty good chance of sitting at a table next to a television or movie actor.

I didn't recognize any movie stars in the diner today, but a certainly little curly-topped blonde was getting a lot of attention from admirers... and Bubbe Paparazzi.
We were rewarded/thanked for our help this week. Leo's godmother, Angela, came by to sit with him while Lenny and Lisa took us to dinner and a show. Double-date! We went to sushi at Izaka-ya and then to a (fundraiser for Lisa and Lenny's temple) comedy show starring Sarah Silverman, Jeff Ross, Nick Kroll, Kumail Nanjiani, and Amy Shumer. The show was sold-out and we all laughed ourselves silly.
Yes, there were a few Jewish jokes.
Thank you, Lisa and Lenny, for a fun night out in Los Angeles.
Until my next update, I remain, your entertained correspondent.
