Bring on the Good Luck! Year of the Rooster...

Saturday in the life of a teacher...

 After 4 years of playing basketball in the YMCA Little Lakers League, Bryce has been promoted to starter! It helps to be one of the two tall guys on your team. It helps that you went to a short, intense, and serious basketball camp last summer that helped alleviate your fears of touching the ball. It's a young team, but they played their hearts out today and Bryce has shown much improvement. Still working on the basic fundementals of the game and being present the entire time. Proud of him!

 Game ran late. Rushed over to park in Union Station for the Golden Dragon Parade in Chinatown. Union Station is my dream location for my retirement party. I have loved it there ever since I attended a party in the old bank over 25 years ago. I can still dream... #Needbigbankaccount #lotto

Flat Stanley's first Chinatown Parade!

 Waiting to find a Lion to give a red envelope to for good luck!

Found a few! (You can only see the video on Google Chrome I think. Crazy Safari)

 Feeding the hungry crew after the parade and then this happens... 

 More Lion Dancing and good luck!

Always a pleasure to spend time with my former SAA and good friend Flor and her girls!

 Then we walked back to Union Station via Olvera Street. 

I love Downtown Los Angeles. You can walk from Chinatown to Olvera Street to Little Tokyo all in the matter of minutes! Stopped by Mr. Churro for New Years sweets... too sweet! #churrosdontneedchocolate

Then get home to find groceries left by grandpa (next door neighbor).

He does that from time to time. Said he gets it from the Food Bank!

And a $700 Target Field Trip Grant check!

(It did pay off to give red envelopes to lions during Chinese New Year!)
