My New Tattoo

I went back to House of Ink to get my tattoo this morning. But first I stopped to see a guest house in Santa Monica. The price is right, the location about perfect, but the actual place was sort of a dump. I'm sort of over living in dumps to tell the truth.

So on to Santa Monica, where I parked my car and headed down to the boardwalk. Hiked out past the Santa Monica pier, Shutters and Hotel Casa Del Mar. Past the volleyball players and the beach-goers. Past the artisans, psychics and musicians selling their wares and plying their trades on the boardwalk. Finally made it to House of Ink where I got a Celtic Tree of Life emblazoned on my right upper arm/shoulder.

I'll post pics later.

It was another gorgeous day in L.A. But wouldn't you know it, my brother James and his girlfriend Connie arrive tomorrow--and so does the rain. For the next three days. Ugh! I have no idea how I'm going to entertain them if it's raining...
