LA News
Breaking news from LA…
My favorite boutique closed its doors (Room with a View).
The local chain coffee shop Dietrich’s that I love so much? Now Starbucks.
My favorite yoga teacher is on vacation.
Cities are constantly changing. When you live among it day-to-day, the changes seem small and subtle and gradual. But because I’ve been gone for awhile, each one is striking me as drastic and tragic.
(Okay, maybe not tragic. The substitute teacher in yoga class was fantastic – you can read about it over here next week – and one of the restaurants near my old apartment has been replaced with a café called Grateful Bread (ya gotta love that name)).

Yes, Jenny, Dietrich's closed BUT the Peet's on Montana (I'm assuming it was the Dietrich's on Montana that closed?) has the most delicious Scharfen Berger chocolate ice blended! My husband loved Dietrich's and misses it dearly but I think the Peet's ice blended makes the loss a bit easier to bear.

Peet's...now there's coffee with a kick!
Yeah, there was something about the atmosphere at D's that I loved...boo hoo

Change is hard, especially the kind that hits you between the eyes!

Isn't it amazing how that happens? When I was in DC recently, the city looked essentially the same (the White House and the Washington Monument don't really "evolve") but the suburbs I used to know so well? Like being on a different planet.

Back in your homeland, eh? Did you leave some milk on the counter during the earthquake so you got a "milkquake"? Okay, bad one. ;)
Wow, it takes that much work when writing a book. Ack. It's discouraging.
Been trying to catch up on your posts. :)
