For 27 years I played a game with myself. That game was: How long can I get away with not having my own suit? I wished I had one a few times before (Andrea’s wedding, mixer at the British CG’s estate, etc.), but on Saturday I had an admissions interview for the MBA program at UCLA and I knew it was game over.

So, with four hours to go until kick-off -Beverly and I walked into 3-Day Suit Broker in Beverly Glenn and picked one out. Or I should say she picked one out… I just had veto power over every decision.

The next day we visited Beard Papa. It was my first time and her second. We agreed that the filling was actually a little too plentiful – and the strawberry pastries had the only standout flavor. After eating so bad for breakfast we finished it off with a trip to the west Los Angeles farmers market for some fresh fruit. Later Beverly would cook “Coke Chicken” – which I’m placing at #3 on her all time cooking list behind pasta and curry chicken.
