  Secret Stairs - Mt. Washington

  
  

  January kinda flew by.  I've been trying to have a more active lifestyle.  I'm part of a meetup group that combines stair-climbing and urban exploration.  I get exercise and explore LA while at it  I'm also thinking of joining a dance class.  I'd forgotten how fun dance is since I last took ballroom dancing.

  I'm excited that I have friends in various parts of the States.  I get to plan vacations to visit them and get to meet them when they travel through.  I'm going to SF in a few weeks.  I'll see one of my friends I haven't seen since graduation!

  Chinese New Year is coming up and it's our year, haha (Year of the Rabbit).  My parents and I will probably celebrate with my grandparents.  There's no better time than now to spend time with them.  Unfortunately, my mom's biological mother and my dad's mother he's known since 12, passed away in recent months.  I wasn't terribly close with them, but nothing's permanent and this is a reminder of that.

  I had my first food truck experience last month.  I've had banh mi, bulgogi spring rolls, and pan de lechon.  They tend to be on the expensive side considering portion size.  I would be willing to try the more famous ones, like Kogi.

  I also received my first jury summons, for the first week of the new year!  I phoned in and didn't have to go, however.  As for work, I'm getting along better with my coworkers, even if it's only learning not to take myself seriously.  This is a hard way to learn it, but admittedly, I wouldn't have learned it another way.  Which reminds me, I have to file my taxes.
