Erin took me to Shin Sen Gumi!

One of my favorite places to eat.

There are twelve restaurants, but we went to Fountain Valley.

Their specialty is Hakata Ramen, and much more.

We sat at the counter.

To get the feel of Shin Sen Gumi, watch this.

This was my view from the counter.

Hot tea on a cold, gray day ... mmm.

Great potato salad ... second only

to June Nomura's.

This is Takana fried rice, a special blend. Oh my!
You don't have to use that much ginger, but we do.

It is on the meal that I want for my last supper.

This is my ramen, halfway, before it disappeared.

If this doesn't make you hungry ...

check your pulse!

I guess you can tell, I am a fan!

Just because ...

Sunday Jordan (GH#1) & James drove to the Laker - Raptor game.

Superman has Laker tickets and he let the young hunks use them.

The Staples Center is an hour+ drive depending on traffic. 

I was watching the game on tv when I got a text from WW.

 It wouldn't be on tv but thought about it as I watched the game.  

I googled and found the Staples Center capacity to be 21,000!

Imagine being 22, asked to shoot a basket from halfcourt. 

This was their view as they waited until the end of the quarter.

Originally, they asked James if he wanted to do the halfcourt shot.

He agreed, but they asked if he had any relations in the NBA, 
and he does, so wasn't eligible. Jordan said, "I don't." 
They looked at him, he is 6'6", and let him do the shot.
He said he was "stoked." 

 I have a 46-second movie that I will try to add here.

The above looked like it would work, but no, try again!
No luck, so I'm, sharing 2 screen captures.
This video worked on my FB: click below.

The ball hit the rim but not in. 

He got a second try for a 3 pointer and again hit the rim.

I thought he looked relaxed, but he said he was nervous.

I had what thought was a good idea for a blog today, 

then I took a nap from 2 - 4pm and woke up groggy 

and no idea of the idea? 

So now it's 11:29 pm, I usually post at 12:03 am. Yikes.

So those of you who have asked how I come up with 

something everyday, now you know I don't.

But I do show up, warts and all.
