DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Pershing Square had its Winter Holiday Festival this weekend and the snow machines were working hard. The Franklin Avenue clan came out to give Evan his first taste of snow. As usual, Ed from View from a Loft has great photos.

I was a bit single-tracked this weekend by a project that I should have ready to post in a day or two, but as usual it's good to see others there to fill in the slack.

Kathy and I are headed back to Michigan for Christmas, so I have a feeling we'll get snow like it or not. For now I'm perfectly happy to avoid it.
