I'd forgotten how wonderful Pasadena is.
But today was a delightful reminder. I met friends Roger O'Leary-Archer and Pat Sullivan for lunch in Pasadena followed by a visit to the vast acreage of The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in neighboring San Marino. There, we saw three great exhibitions: The Color Explosion, about how color lithographs revolutionized the printing industry in 19th-century America; Central Avenue and Beyond, about the Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles in the 1920's and 30's; and Drawn to Satire, a show of John Sloan's etchings.

On the way home, I couldn't resist stopping off in South Pasadena to my all-time favorite clothing store, Koi, on Fair Oaks. (It used to be called Sonnie's.) So many beautiful clothes! Where to begin? I held myself back today, but it was terribly hard.
