boomtown

While you may be hearing about the rain drenching LA right now, it actually held out tonight long enough to allow for one of my favorite events of the year - Manhattan Beach's Christmas Fireworks. Although it was dry, it was freezing. So after a few drinks at my place, we bundled up in layers and biked down to the pier, lit up like a Christmas tree as it is every year. We ducked into the fire department quickly for their annual spaghetti dinner and managed to get out and find a spot just in time for the fireworks to begin. Somehow the ride back is always the hardest part, but at least now it really feels like Christmas.
