Sometimes I Work
I am terrible about going to the bank. I know it causes bookkeeping issues so I decided to be a nice guy today and get rid of some of these checks. Day 29.
Gu Gu Sushi and Roll, Hermosa Beach
The first time I ever tried sushi was back in the early 70’s. Some new chain, whose name escapes me, had come to Southern California and my [now ex] wife and I decided to give it a shot.

Buddy got groomed today, and since he is so handsome when he returns from the groomer I will let him represent my Day 26 picture for Project 365.
