Taylor and I went out to Pasadena today to wander around their Old Pasadena section. It's not terribly "old" except for the buildings. Otherwise it's just a collection of stores and restaurants like the Cheesecake factory, Urban Outfitters and H&M. We had a great lunch at a trattoria and wandered around looking at stores.
This weekend has been kind of a depressing one in Claremont. David Foster Wallace, author and creative writing professor at Pomona apparently killed himself, while a senior at CMC died in the Metrolink crash in Chatsworth. He was taking the Metro home from Claremont to Simi Valley.
But it was also my neighbor Heidi's birthday this weekend, and we baked her brownies and filled her room with balloons and streamers. Saturday we all took a walk down to the Claremont village to check out the shops and the great smoothie place. I hope we made it a good birthday for her. It would be so hard to have your birthday so early in the school year so far from home.
