It was a Spiderman sort
of a weekend in Los Angeles. Unlike Spiderman, Spiderman, we didn't do
whatever a spider can. We didn't climb walls or spin webs or wear skintight
red costumes. But Gilbert, who we like to think of as the Spider Sabitch* of
architects,
did fly down from Aspen to L.A. with Katherine to join us for a weekend
under the L.A. sun.

Saturday morning
Scott flew in from (yet another) visit to Skidmore College. Katherine
and Gilbert picked him up at LAX, and the weekend began with breakfast
at the nearby classic Pann's diner in Inglewood. |
 |
|
Then with the top
down on the car we headed along the coast to Manhattan Beach for a stroll out on the Pier... |
|
In evening, we went
to the newly renovated Cinerama Dome at Sunset & Vine in Hollywood
 to
see Spiderman on the big screen.
(If you haven't seen
the film yet: he does whatever a spider can.) |
|
|
Sunday morning we
invited a bunch of our L.A. pals over to the house for a brunch --
featuring Katherine's amazing homemade muffins (with strawberries and
blueberries from the farmers' market in Hollywood). |

|
|
There were babies
crawling
everywhere you looked... |
|
 |
 |
|
Later that day we
paid an architectural visit to the Gamble House in Pasadena...
|
|
|
...and a culinary
visit to Farmers' Market at Television City.
|
|
In the evening we
drove down to Santa Monica to watch the sun sink down behind the Malibu
hills across the South Bay...
|
 |
...and to say
goodnight to Spiderman,
who was hard at work
in the midway
on the pier.

*Spider Sabitch was a
successful Aspen-based ski racer in the 1970's.
He is now best
remembered for having been shot
by singer Claudine
Longet (no analogy to Gilbert there). |
