It’s Me Dad’s Birthday!
Today is my daddy’s 76th birthday! We’re actually gonna celebrate this Saturday, but today he had his usual doc appointment and his infusion of Zometa for his multiple myeloma. What a way to spend your birthday! Oh, well. So I called my parents up and since they said they would just be hanging around today, I asked them if they wanted me to come over and take over a video rental. One evening while out at dinner, we were having a discussion, and the movie, Waking Ned Divine came up. My mom wanted to watch it, so I thought today might be a good day to watch it. So I picked up the movie, and I’m gonna take it over there to watch with them. My mom is so cute. She said, “Oh, when you come can you bring some of your homemade cookies and tea, too?” Ha ha! Of course, so they’re in the oven right now, and as soon as they’re done, I’m outta here. Meanwhile, I’ll blog, hehehe.
There are so many events going on all the time that it’s hard to keep up. Yesterday, I was on the road on Wilshire, and ran into unexpected traffic. Lots of people and police everywhere. Turns out there was a demonstration for the 1915 Armenian Genocide. I had heard about it and saw some stuff on it at the Museum of Tolerance many years ago. But I honestly remembered very little (except a few very graphic pictures 
). So I looked it up. Wow, amazing the things that have happened in history. For those interested, here’s a link.
Oop! The oven just beeped! Must dash. Will have to continue later on.

Thanks for the well wishes, Patti. We ended up going to King Seafood Restaurant in Long Beach because they had a variety of dishes on their menu, and none of us had tried it before. We pretty much all pigged out, which was probably not such a good idea! Andrew and I both had two dishes, eeek! He had a California roll and charbroiled ono, and I had a tataki roll and charbroiled rockfish. My parents had lobster and other shellfish. I think my dad had a nice time even though he flipped the bill!
Here’s a pic of Andrew and me, heheh.

Oh, Patti, I think I just realized that you might have been referring to when I visited my folks and watch a movie with them, ha! Yeah, it was nice, too. That was last Wed. The dinner from the above pic was from last night with the rest of the crew. Would have attached a group pic, but I “know” not all of them are comfortable being pictured on the internet, hence I refrain from sharing the whole group pic. Sigh. . .
