Best May Ever?

Consider:

• Traveling through Turkey, which stands as the coolest thing I’ve ever done.
• Seeing the Dirtbombs — finally! — play live, which stands as one of the greatest rock shows I’ve ever attended.
• Making a well-received Turkish breakfast for L.A. friends, just to give them a taste of Anatolian greatness.
• Watching the Dodgers grind out a come-from-behind victory over the Reds at Maggie June’s first baseball game.
• Planning a return trip to Sonoma and Bodega Bay in keeping with what’s becoming a legendary family Memorial Day tradition.
