So What’s For Dinner in Pasadena? 
 
In Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley, there are lots of dining options.  From casual to finer and from all over the world.
 
What’s your preference?
 
Feeling American?  Maybe Smitty's Grill(photo #2) on South Lake Avenue.

Liking The Possibilities 
Recently I ran across this message:
 
 
 
Whatever our wildest DREAMS may be,
they only scratch the surface of
WHAT
IS
POSSIBLE
 
And isn’t it the truth?
 
Imagine the possibilities…
 
Now make them happen….
 
Here are a few quotes that have(for me) gone beyond the surface:
 
 
 
Start by doing what is necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.  
 
Francis of Assisi
 
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!
 
Audrey Hepburn
 
Be kind whenever possible.  It is always possible.
 
Dalai Lama
 
With self-discipline most anything is possible.
 
Theodore Roosevelt
 
The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.
