BELIEVE
I do believe in the power of love. If we had more of it in our world it would absolutely be a better place and people would actually be more whole-healed-nicer. We could all use more of it.

Low Key Fab Places

So my bud, Kenny Gee (not the musician), is in town from Phoenix and I took him to some of my fav places: Monsoon, Vivace, and Black Bottle - all in one evening and Pho Cyclo for lunch on another. Even though he's lived here for 4 years or so...that was 15 years ago. He absolutely raved about Monsoon but, of course, who wouldn't, right? We had the fav dishes like stuffed squid, catfish claypot & their lamb was so tender we were wondering if it was "kobe" lamb or something. Vivace espresso - one of the best and capped off the evening hanging at Black Bottle because I just love the vibe there to have great convo. Next day, we had lunch at Pho Cyclo and I do think that is the best pho noodle in town with a clean atmosphere. Needless to say, we had a fab time at some of my fav places.
