My boy from Halifax has been burning us Cali boys for complaining about the cold, but yesterday I got seriously chilled.  Trekked out last night to Flushing, aka NY Chinatown, to visit the cousin and family.  I had been out of NY for so long over the past few months that I didn’t have any time to see them recently.  It was really good.  It’s always wonderful to interact with young people and feel like you’ve been able to connect, perhaps even dispense some advice.

Continuing my old-man-ness, the cold weather last night (and this morning) utterly destroyed me.  It was fine during the day, but at night, the massive winds just took everything out of me.  My cheeks started to hurt from the cold burn, and then became numb.  My fingers went from indoors toasty to frozen popsickles in 3 seconds.   Not fun.  Almost made me wish I were in Cali.

Ah, Cali, where I was just a while back to spend CNY, look into some ventures, and celebrate the birthday of a good buddy.  We had our usual tom-foolery of gambling, and of course mahjong with the family.  But also had the chance to do a bit of touring downtown LA.  I enjoyed MoCA a lot.  It’s smaller than the usual NY museums, but quality work no less.  (And yes, it’s spread across three locations so it’s unfair to compare).  Such a great time and most definitely warm.  Going to make another trip back at the end of March so mark your calendars if you feel like meeting up in sunny SoCal.
