A happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful 2009 to you!

I kicked off the year by power walking along the beach in Manhattan Beach. Sure it was very late at night on new years but there are usually a ton of people out exercising...biking, jogging, walking. I only saw one other person during my entire walk. Kinda eerie.

Unrelated, my wife and I rode the metro, something we haven't done in years. We took the gold line to Pasadena and wandered around looking at the city hall, a couple of cool, activist churches, all the people gathering along Colorado Blvd to watch the Rose Parade. But the Soap Kitchen store was closed. Took a few good shots and will post later.

Will be making a big pot of chili using my late Mom's recipe. Will go to the local panaderia to get freshly baked bolillos for 20 cents each and will watch the Penn St / USC game.
