Sorry. Cannot say that I know who “Gordo” is, so I guess the connection is lost on me. Sorry.

And for those of you who don't that probably was not funny at all. But in all seriousness. It does make one think back to differnt times, I won't say better or worse just different. The thing we should always remember though is that those times live on in our memories, whether they have ballooned to times better than they were, or times that may have seemed worse at the moment, but that in hindsight are mostly amusing now, if sometimes filled with a certain regret or sadness. In thinking back I remember writing something about the passage of time, that was inspired by a writing exercise my freshmen year in college. I wish I still had a copy of it, I might but have no idea where it might be. I won't try and recreate it here, but the jest if I recall was wishing for a simpler time, during youth when life was carefree and the only thoughts were of what the next minute would hold and having no responsibilities. And while we can't go back, how we choose to live our lives today, either by forgetting about the past entirely or relishing those moments when we can if we choose go back for while to those simpler times is up to us. I for one hope to get back to some of those moments, even if it is simply a phone call to an old friend, or by creating new simpler moments in our current lives. It is true that the clock never stops, forcing us to march on in time, but how we spend those moments is whats counts.

How did you fare the fires? I hope everyone and everything is safe. Yeah... I kinda suspect that the food would not be exactly as I remember. Things like that change a lot. I remember how good McDonald's fries used to be back when they used lard to cook them. They are still good, but nothing like the heart-attack inducing ones they used to make. Do you remember "Love's Restaurant"? Their ads use to sing "When your in Love's, the whole world's delicious." Ah, the good old days. Good to hear from you. How did you fare the fires? I hope everyone and everything is safe.

I used to go to one in Pasadena often when I was a kid. It is not as good as I remembered it being but the decor is a crack up and the one in SB is right across the street from the ocean.
