had a great time with my mom sister niece (pictured) and nephew

in of all places Newport Coast, Orange County

playground of the rich and semi famous

yesterday my mom and I saw the Clooney film “The Descendants”

I thought it was going to be a doc on the great punk band of the 80s

but instead it turned out to be a funny downer of a film about a dying woman and how her family deals with her condition. its set in Hawaii.

i cried. i always cry at the movies.

now im just a tad sad that i am back at work, and i wont see my mom till baseball season.
