I'll add my congratulations to QL and Hunnybear, too. I have just moved to Santa Monica from Silicon Valley. And I thought real estate prices there were high! Here they're astronomical. We moved in last week on the one day it didn't rain (thank heavens). But I took the dog on a long walk in Palisades Park today and that made me forget the rain. It was so clear and sunny you could see all the way to Malibu on one side and to Palos Verdes peninsula on the other. Fantastic.
Karen2, I'll keep in mind your advice for the cheap show tickets. Thanks.
