My friends and I, when we go for appetizers, usually get a few and split them between several people, and then call it a meal. Most places have a "happy hour" when appetizers are half price, so it can be a pretty good deal. Ironic truth: I said everything gets bigger in America the further West you head. I lied. I forgot about one thing: the people get smaller! Not everyone, of course, but a lot of them. I've only been in California once and that only for a two-day conference where I was cooped up in a church basement most of the time; but when I was out and about, the thing that startled me most was how many thin and blonde and tan and glamourous-looking people there were. Certainly there is a much higher percentage of "beautiful people" in Cali. It must be only tourists who eat in restaurants with enourmous servings because I can't see how people like Gwyneth Paltrow eat at all and look the way they do. Diets are the order of the day, and if they don't work, by all means try an eating disorder! Very sad. I know, it’s impossible to eat that much with just a few of you!

I wish I was there. I did aim to go to MOSAIC this year but somehow didn't make it. If you see Pete (my minister from Chadderton) and Karen Shepherd please give them my regards and say I am there in Spirit. tell them to bring back some good stuff from Erwin et al. Say hi to Erwin for me - we talked at Stafford . have a great time. Sam its great to see the photos of LA. I wish I was there. I did aim to go to MOSAIC this year but somehow didn’t make it.

Rachel and I were talking last night about finding a seafood restaurant when we are there so she can try crab and lobster! Did you see any movie stars wandering around the sets? Looks like fun!

I ate at a Hardrock a month or two ago in Nashville. So much fun. I love seeing all the guitars signed by famous rock stars. There was an Eric Clapton! :-) And believe it or not, I have in fact eaten at the original one in London, too. So now we've swapped countries for burgers, as well as Starbucks coffee! :-) -Mel Everything’s so big because you’re meant to share!
