A long weekend visiting my youngest sister in Los Angeles was just what the doctor ordered. We managed to pack a colossal amount into just a couple days, but some highlights:

* Andy Warhol (!) inside LACMA and gourmet hot dogs outside LACMA.

* Visiting the Reform School store in Silverlake.

* Riding bikes along the beach in Santa Monica

* A Back to the Future screening at the Silent Movie Theatre, which would have been cool enough in its own right, but combined with Aziz Ansari's commentary, downright epic.

* Sunshine. Eighty degree temps. A renewed belief that Spring isn't just a figment of my imagination.
