Sumo, Family, Seafood & Work
This past Thursday, I got back from a work trip to Los Angeles.
Usually, I'm only there for three or four days, but this trip was a bit
longer. I decided to go a bit earlier because my sister, Amy, and her
family were there for a Sumo competition at The Los Angeles Fitness Expo. Yep, you heard right.
My brother-in-law's brother, Sumo Dan, is a world-ranked Sumo wrestler and lives in LA. He was competing in an open tournament at the LA Convention Center and invited my brother-in-law, Brian, to compete as well. So, I got to see both Brian and Dan compete, which was a lot of fun!
The next day, I went with Amy, Brian and my niece, Annalee, to Griffith Park where we played at the park, went on the Merry-Go-Round, and took a little train ride. Annalee seemed to enjoy it and I had fun hanging out with them.
Mary's dad also happened to be in the area to work at a show in Anaheim. On Tuesday night, I drove down to meet him and we went to McCormick & Schmick's. The food there is always great. It was really great to see both him and my sister's family while away from home. It made all the asset management, legal and rights & permissions meetings a little more bearable. Although, the 70 degree weather helped, too!
