By now you know I’ve gotta at least blog once per season about the Los Angeles Lakers. So here it is. Our season came to an end last night. Sigh.

(It’s fair to say that L.A. effs up every celebration with idiotic violence & vandalism though. Honestly, what is wrong with us???)
City of Gloss Angeles.
