One highlight of the weekend was getting on my bike - for the first time in about seven years - and pedaling down to Manhattan Beach. I don't know about you, but I think that sounds super neat. (OK, so it's not Lewis and Clark, but I only had one afternoon to work with. Cut me some slack.)
But it turns out they're right: Even after all those years, riding a bike really is like riding a bike. The only problem with that aphorism is that it doesn't mention how much your butt is going to hurt afterwards.
Other quick random thoughts until I think of something better to write:
1) It would be pretty impractical for me to stay at this hotel, since we live about 10 miles away, but I'm already a big fan because (a) I like the description that it's like a W Hotel but with a sense of humor and (b) there's a 25 percent discount on parking if the car you're parking is a hybrid. Now we're getting the hang of it! I think all businesses that charge for parking - restaurant valets, sports stadiums, public lots - should do the same thing.
2) I'd submit that the end of Dark Knight (warning: sound) is a little anticlimactic. But that's about my only complaint. Otherwise, I loved it - as good as advertised - especially Heath Ledger's performance. (Not an original observation, but whatever.) He was so creepy/entertaining, I actually would enjoy watching a cut of the movie comprised only of his scenes. And, I'll probably never look at a Ticonderoga No. 2 in the same way again.

You do a lot of impractical things, so I bet you WILL stay here...
Did the reviewer have nothing better to do than taste test the bath products:"The compact but luxurious bathroom contained L’Occitane products, including a deliciously lemony soap"
Anyway, I digress...looks nice. Maybe when I come with my 3 boys, we'll stay there, as I haven't seen a photo of your new place yet...
I forgot...Isn't your butt supposed to be in great shape with all this butt training super slow stuff you're doing?!
It IS in great shape. My butt could lift a Buick. Just not used to bouncing around on a bicycle seat.
Oh, and, now you'll get your photos.
a buick?
how about a hummer?
(buick?!!!)
and how, exactly, oh genius one, would it lift it?!
Wait a second, there are movies out there other than those made by Disney or Pixar?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Hmmm, guess its been a while, but we didnt miss Kung Fu Panda or Wall-E this summer and at least now I have somebody to help finish that bucket of popcorn....
I hear kids are good for helping finish leftovers. Good thinking, dude.
