I always try to spend a little time with the Buddha on his birthday. Today I went to Wat Thai in North Hollywood, a place of special serenity. Monks and lay people were busy setting up Spring festival structures for this coming weekend.
Drive north on Coldwater Canyon (where the Hollywood Freeway' Roscoe Boulevard offramp meet) 8225 Coldwater open everyday from 7 am until 8 pm.
ps - It's my birthday too. Jerry
