Cory and I just returned from a great weekend in Los Angeles.  That is one fascinating city… in a whirlwind 2 days, We saw Van Morrison live at the Orpheum theater, (thanks again Shawn and Angie for the invite) Saw Pierce Brosnan, met with my partners and team at Willow Springs Raceway and Cory got a great  Mothers Day gift on Rodeo Drive.

Cory and I just returned home from a great weekend in Los Angeles.  That is one fascinating city…in 2 days we saw Van Morrison, live at the Orpheum theater.  Cory was star struck by her Pierce Brosnan, sighting actually more like bumping, standing in line getting a drink.  I had meetings with my partners at Willow Springs Raceway, had drinks at the SLS Hotel with a world famous chef and Cory got a great Mothers Day gift on Rodeo drive.

It is truly amazing, California has greater population than the entire country of Canada in 2/3’s the space of Alberta.  The contrast is startling; The richest of rich the poorest of poor.  Beautiful weather, tempered by horrible smog, the number of cars, verses the park like atmosphere of Beverly Hills.  It is difficult to describe but here is another Canadian’s perspective after 15 years of living in Los Angeles  “LA is 100 miles wide and 1/2 inch deep…EVERYBODY is working something or somebody”

Fifteen minutes later he said “I have lived all over the world and I will NEVER leave LA”.

Fascinating…I look forward to returning.

Some interesting websites of stuff we did.
