So … why is this a major news story? It already happened to me FIVE YEARS AGO!
Dad’s Birthday
Tuesday was both my parents’ last full day of their visit and my father’s birthday. We had breakfast at Hart’s Coffee Shop before heading to Vasquez Rocks. What is Vasquez Rocks, you ask? Well… that’s where evil Bill and Ted killed the real Bill and Ted. More famously it’s where this interspecies miscommunication happened: […]
the 13th
On Monday morning I didn’t go to work – but instead enjoyed what was probably only the third vacation day I’d taken in 2010. To celebrate this momentous occasion I went with my parents to Las Fuentes restaurant for brunch. After that we went to Fryman Canyon, which I used to frequent but hadn’t visited […]

More photos from graduation

I still don’t have Victor, Myra or Cindy’s photos, but Sam gave me a 400 photo archive combined from four different cameras in her party (including a pro with a DSLR). Here are some of my favorites: Before the ceremonies with the OG Encino Kerns crew. […]
Parents Visit Day 2

Parents’ visit Friday
On Friday morning I picked my parents up at LAX. Despite getting up at what would have roughly been 2am PST they were down for a full day of Los Angeles…ing. First we went to Little Ethiopia and ate lunch at Messob. Below is dad scooping up some lentils with injera. From there we went […]
Art Walk December
Sam and I went to the Art Walk on Thursday night. It was dead. There weren’t very many open galleries. There was a new “gallery” that was referred to as the Art Walk Lounge. In the back there was a circle of easels with canvases. It seemed like the people doing live paintings were complete […]
