3960 and counting

 As of 15:45 PST, 3960 people around the world danced to Thriller at 11 a.m. PST. That includes 114 of us Thrill the World Los Angeles at Hollywood & Highland this morning.

Thai-ed up and Twisted

Thai massage. Oh, it hurts sooooo good. Via my work, Nhien and I got a complimentary Thai massage at The Raven Spa in Silver Lake about a month ago.  The therapists are all Thai, and the atmosphere was such that at some point I felt really transported.  For a moment, I thought I was back home.  It was that good.  We liked the place so much that when the opportunity arose, I brought my girls back for more. After having missed somebody’s birthday recently, my girls and I have agreed to treat ourselves to one of these girls spa day...
