weekend of favorites

A strangely relaxing weekend after the manic pace of the last couple weeks; the lucky and unexpected result of having all projects being at a stage of being out for approval or review. Friday was an impromptu tour of gourmet food trucks at Westchester First Friday and then some neighborhood watering holes with my pal Heith; Saturday brought a bike ride on the beach and beers at Simmzy's, my favorite place, with my pal Pat; and Sunday I met up with my brother in law who is in town for meetings/classes and took him to the LA institution Phillipe's (birthplace of the french dip) and a stop at a downtown favorite place of mine, Wurstküche. Not a bad vacation from the usual weekend of late.
