Oh, Serena, your comments make me homesick for Long Beach!
Go have omelets at Two Umbrellas for me! Go enjoy the ocean breeze and look out over the Queen Mary from the concrete bench at the edge of the bluff there at Bixby Park!
But be careful crossing the street at Ocean Avenue and Redondo!
What are your fav Long Beach hangouts, Serena?

By the way ...
If you cover the hole in the assless chaps, do you end up with a chapped ass?
Just wondering ...

Hi AJ!
OMG, there are so many spots in LB that I love . . . Aki Sushi on 7th & Walnut is always a good time. And of course I had to get me some Thai BBQ while I was in town. We walked along the beach and took a nap under a tree in Bluff Park. I missed Roscoe's this time around. But I'll be back in June. So you know it's the first spot that I'm hitting.
The thing that I miss the most aside from Long Beach (aside from the greenery) is the ability to walk down the street being myself. I never feel quite right in Phoenix. No one says hello to you on the street. In Long Beach, you can chat up a perfect stranger while you wait for the bus and no one thinks twice about it. I can hold hands with the person I love and not have to worry if someone is going to beat the shit out of us. And I can sleep with the front door open to enjoy the ocean breeze without worrying about what the neighbors will think. Long Beach is truly the only place that I feel at peace.
