Getting here was rough. My flight was delayed and then the rental car agency was so over booked it took almost an hour and a half to get a car. I didn't get to bed until 1:30a PST. Of course I woke up at 7a local time so I'm beat.
I ate breakfast at the Queen's table (a table my friend always keeps set just in case the Queen pops by North Hollywood). Afterwards we went to a farmer's market and shopped for dinner.
The highlight of my day was...I started to say this hike I went on around Lake Hollywood which is a dammed up body of water up in the hills BUT I think my highlight was seeing my friend's old cat. I was with her when she adopted him as a kitten and now he is a frail old cat with a regal demeanor. The cat reminded me of Gus which brought back a lot of tender memories.
The hike was a nice break in the middle of the day. It was great to catch up with my friend. We had a long talk about finding a good man and it made me realize how much we've grown up since we first met in 1994. Wait!!! I can't believe we've been friends for 20 years already. Time flies.
The day ended with a screening of "Tomorrow Never Ends" (Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt) at the Television Academy just down the block from where Greystone used to be. Good movie but the theater had two 10-15ft tall Emmy statues book ending the screen. They were a constant reminder of why I'm in town and acted as a catalyst for my nerves.
This sun-kissed fountain was outside the theater. Another reminder of tomorrow.
