Getting lazy and have not kept up with so much more important things going on, which Joy has kept you posted on. So I thought I'd note a couple of side things. Like when we went for a visit to Cambria, so much needed!, and I walked with Dandy in the old neighborhood. He spotted a concrete pig (no kidding) and had to investigate:

The other day, back in Malibu, we decided to wander down to Venice beach, an area we've always loved. It was a Tuesday morning, so the normal crowds weren't there, but it was fun anyway. You know how I love signs. The picture below gives you a sample, two star signs in one. In case you can't quite make them out: "Evaluation Center Medical Marijuana," and "Botox on the Beach"

And then there is the sadder side, the homeless. You can't read the sign that this man is wearing, but it reads "Venice, Don't Dump On The Homeless." Written right on the toilet seat lid. A sorry comment on our society today.

And that's it for now. It's warm and windy on the coast. Thanks for all the good words and thoughts for Joy; they help.
