Ensuring that his 99.85-year-old mother has received a bouquet with the right combo of post-Labor Day colors before he catches a 6:30 a.m. flight to Los Angeles.
The Idiot was so delighted with the summer-moving-to-autumn color of the flowers in his mother’s bouquet that he decided to catch his scheduled early morning flight from Redding to Los Angeles, California. Besides a lunch in Malibu today with Baby Gaga, his 1.96-year-old granddaughter, he’ll catch a Dodgers/Giants game tomorrow and watch Stanford play USC on Saturday.
About Joel

He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013.
