June 2026

• O Flying Butterfly… by Stanton MacDonald-Wright at LACMA
• Flowers at Wilshire Blvd and Westwood Blvd in Westwood
• Grand Park sign
• Detail from Female Figure by Roy Lichtenstein at the Broad


• Here's a chronicle of mostly Tuesdays, one Thursday, and a single solitary Sunday.

• Tuesday June 2nd was California voting with a very long ballot.

• Tuesday June 2nd at the Skirball Cultural Center, I missed the Comic Book Exhibit they included with admission, so I'll enjoy it next time and also spring for a ticket to Noah's Ark.

• On Sunday June 7th I preached for Pentecost 2A; Matthew's lectionary year continues.

• Tuesday June 9th was LACMA again because it's always a great way to enjoy second Tuesdays.

• No museum or other cultural outing for Tuesday June 16th, but I got a couple of necessities plus a few other things at the Inglewood Century Shopping Sprawl after a Butterscotch Frosty Sundae at Wendy's.

• Because the World Cup partly happened in LA, my Five Minute Friday on Thursday June 18th had to be about Korea and Mexico.

• June 23rd, the month's 4th Tuesday, featured lunch in Santa Monica followed by a short trip to the Westfield Culver City Mall.

• On the 5th Tuesday, June 30th, I visited The Broad Museum and Gloria Molina Grand Park.

• Tuesday June 30th was the release date for Brian Drinkwine's book, Kingdom Over Empire: Recovering the Gospel from Political Captivity. Due to serendipitously noticing Brian's launch team invitation on Facebook, I received an ARC. My amazon review is forthcoming and will have about two-thirds of my blog content.
