LA Trip 2018: Day 1 (Continued)
LA Trip 2018: Day 1 of a two-day trip to Los Angeles, California (Continued)… to be a guest at the Fred Claire Celebrity Golf Classic, an event to raise money for cancer research for City of Hope.
1:00 p.m. Mid-day at the Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, California… A gorgeous day to be outdoors… Ahhhh… did I say it was a Monday?
1:30 p.m. Dodger great Orel Hershiser chats with DodgersNation about what he’s been up to (including his friendship with Fred Claire and his current broadcasting career), with some of my books on display… I learned a lot, actually, being in the room listening in on Hershiser’s interview.
4:00 p.m. It’s DodgersNation chatting with the one and only Tommy Lasorda, the long-time former manager of the Dodgers!
Jerry Reuss and Mickey Hatcher were also at the event to help raise money for Mr. Claire’s cause.
Here’s the great knuckleballer Charlie Hough, who’s holding two of my books. I had a chance to speak with him briefly – he loves to talk knuckleballs!
6:00 p.m. Dinner began, and then a silent auction and speeches.
in terms of the speeches, there were some inspirational words spoken by Mr. Claire himself, a couple of doctors, and Tommy Lasorda.
All in all, an enjoyable and inspirational evening…
LA Trip 2018: Mission Bar & Grill at SFO
During my brief LA trip on August 20 and 21, I had a brief stop at San Francisco International Airport.
Feeling hungry, I stopped by Mission Bar & Grill inside the airport to have a late lunch before boarding my next flight home to Vancouver.
I decided to have their Fried Calamari along with an orange juice. It was 2:30 pm at the time, and fairly busy – but I didn’t have to wait long for the food to arrive. (In fact, based on the time stamps on the photos I took, the calamari took less than 10 minutes to come to my table.)
The calamari came with some excellent dipping sauce. I enjoyed it – it was awesome.
The staff was friendly and professional – exactly what you would expect in an establishment at a busy international airport. Not a fancy meal, but I would say everything was great. Awesome experience.
