Man was it hot! But a great day - I've had my eye on this doublet since I moved here to LA, and today was the day when I'd finally saved up the money for it. It's a little worse for the wear in this shot, since I'd loosened everything to get a little room to breathe. It was 97 degrees, and mostly no shade.

There was copious beer, turkey legs, poison boobies, questing, swing rides - and above all, convivial company. Great day in the sun, even if I'm a little fried at the moment. Afterwards we went to "skewers" for unbelievably good Bangkok Hummus. More on that, later.

Life, she is good to me. Today was just a part of it.
