My wife a native Angelina sez it’s a good thing LA can see its air, that way we know when aliens in UFOs steal it from us.

This morning in LA, I could see the air (smog). After landing in Boston, I could drink the air (humidity) What a difference 3000 miles makes.

TIL There’s an official US National Anthem en Español commissioned by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Mirad!, ¿Podéis ver al sutil clarear lo que erguido se alzó cuando el Sol se ocultaba? ¡Y sus franjas y estrellas en el rudo luchar, sobre recio baluarte gallardo ondulaba!

Thought for today. I’m not sure what to think about this week’s very special episode of Welcome to #Wrexham

Thought for today: Tried Salt & Straw’s Gruyère and tomato tart ice cream. I’m extremely glad I tried it. However, I don’t think I’ll ever have it again.

Now that I’m working the late shift and am performing vital tasks that help keep NPR running, I’ve begun to realize that I might have more instances of FOMO. You can hear Mr. Hamill on Fresh Air on your local public radio stations. Tune in. #NPRLife #MayTheForceBeWithYou #MyDayInLA

Today I’m feeling like Carl Fredricksen. Microsoft flight simulator is forcing its assistance on me and I don’t want the assistance.

In all my time in Los Angeles and occasionally taking photos of interesting license plates, this is the most famous one I’ve seen. Apologies for the dirty windshield. #Angylne #PinkCorvette #MyDayInLA.

I realize this is a 3-year old video, but it was fed to me on YouTube yesterday and it’s too priceless, not to share here. The power of the voice on the radio. youtu.be/sSHD0tQ1XvA #NPRLife #ThePuzzlemasterPresents

Happy Earth Day. With mostly fond memories of the best concert ever. The best part was Billy Bragg playing the opening riffs to Smoke on the Water because he “always wanted to do that in an American football stadium”

As my dad would say: We are the men of Donegal we eat our potatoes, skins and all. Those potato skins are shatteringly crisp. However, it should be noted that neither my father’s family, from Cork, nor my mother’s family, from Connemara, are actually from Donegal.

My father would note that if you didn’t make it to early mass on Sunday, the day was ruined since you couldn’t go sailing. Happy Easter everyone!

We made the NY Times Crossword Puzzle for today (Monday), with the clue. “Some broadcasts updating current events”. I thought the answer would be a little more generic. It’s great to be in the same league as Ari.

Every once in a while, I can come across something in LA I thought I would’ve seen already in my 23 years here. This is one of them. #ThatsAllFolks #CicLAvia #MyDayInLA
