Driving the 101 on a beautiful sunny day in Los Angeles, me, my mom and kids were headed to the Natural History Museum In Los Angeles.
Palm trees, the Hollywood sign and the Capitol Records building were all en route to our destination.
Growing up here, the Capitol Records building never ceased to amaze me. The simple genius in erecting a building that produced some of the greatest music ever in the shape of a stack of records on a turntable…well the sight just never got old to me.
“Kids!” I shouted to them as the iconic building was slowly (we were on the 101, after all) emerging. ” Look! It’s the Capitol Records building. It’s in the shape of a stack of records…[cue the crickets].”
“They are never going to know what that is,” I resignedly told my mother sitting beside me.
My kids didn’t even bother answering me. They just wanted to know how much longer we had to drive. There was nothing special about a building in the shape of objects that were virtually obsolete and that they would likely never even see.
In other news and developments, apparently we’re all supposed to get excited that President Obama basically equated marijuana and alcohol – but stopped at endorsing its legalization.
That’s truly lovely, however, I’m still not past the fact that my insurance is not the sweet coverage that it used to be, courtesy of Mr. President.
Nor am I past the fact that he just got back from a seventeen day luxury Hawaiian vacation that cost a reported $4 million. That comes out to approximately $235,000 a day.
Can you remember the last time you had a vacation that long and that expensive? Neither can I.
Is it just me or should the Presidents advisors have recommended a stay-cation?
