Armageddon

When it rained Saturday morning, I knew I wanted to be up at the Griffith Park Observatory for sunset, as it would be a nice, clear view. So after a few hours at Hollywood Forever's Dia De Los Muertos, a few of us headed up to Griffith Park for sunset. I had a jonesing that nothing but a sunset could cure ;-)

All though all the clouds cleared out, I wasn't disappointed. And then they fired off the nukes...

Some days are harder than others. More distractions, disruptions, disasters. There's never enough time. Too many people requiring too many things from you. Occasionally the feeling of burrowing inside rears it's head. Cutting ties, shedding responsibilities, taking more "ME" time.

I've been there for awhile. The hectic schedule is insane. Having to leave the house while my wife takes our child to urgent care, or has to call a plumber/ac guy/garage door repair guy kills me. That's my job. But I can't do that job, because I have all of these other jobs. My wife is a saint, and a very strong woman, and also very tired.

So I ponder possibilities, and think about giving up some things. Quitting. And then I go to an ATM in a dirty mini mall at 6 am. And at that moment, I am in the most beatiful place in the world, and I realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be...

Sunset at the observatory

Stella and I went chasing sunsets yesterday. We found one at the Griffith Park Observatory.

Enjoy,
