Things began to come together, and I went from speaking like an evil baby to speaking like a hillbilly. "Is thems the thoughts of cows?" I'd ask the butcher, pointing to the calves' brains displayed in the front window. "I want me some lamb chop with handles on 'em." ~David Sedaris

Rembrandt & Elvis

We spent yesterday evening with two great masters, Rembrandt and Thai Elvis. How can it get any better than that?

A few days ago Andrew and I found out that the Rembrandt drawing exhibit at The Getty was ending this weekend. We asked a couple of friends if they wanted to come along, and off we went for an evening of art, music, and food with Lesley and Jeff.


Rembrandt's drawings compared side by side with those of his pupils truly highlight his genius. Even an untrained eye could see the depth and expression in the generally more simple looking but clearly not simple Rembrandts.


We then headed to Thai town for some dinner and Elvis. Palm Restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard not only has pretty good Thai food, but they also have the only Thai Elvis I've ever seen. He's always a real treat to watch. And, as everyone knows... Real Elvis is dead, but Thai Elvis lives forever!

We started with the shrimp cake appetizer. Yum! Lesley and I ordered the Pad Kee Mao with fried tofu and Coconut Soup with steamed tofu. The boys had the Pineapple Fried Rice with pork and Shrimp Panang.

We ended the evening with a little Beatles RockBand. The perfect day!
