Over a month ago some plans fell through, so I did something I’d been wanting to do for a long time: buy a tripod and walk around downtown Los Angeles at night. It turns out that really means RUNNING around Los Angeles because there was no way I’d get all the pictures I wanted […]
Sam Birthday
On Friday night Sam and I went to Providence for her birthday. She’d picked out the restaurant from yelp a few weeks earlier. We parked down the street and noted that for such a nice restaurant it was in a bit of an iffy part of town. Inside the place appeared like a modern caricature of […]
Universal Studios Hollywood KP Day
On Saturday Sam and I attended an event at Universal Studios Hollywood for Kaiser Permanente employees in honor of the Permanente Group’s 60th anniversary. The park was open to the public until 8pm, and for four hours after that it was open to Kaiser employees and their guests only. We came early to watch Iron […]
Weekend plans
On Friday night Sam and I set about doing our laundry after getting home from work. We left the last load in the dryer around 9 and headed to Los Feliz to see J.A.W. Cooper’s solo show at the Soap Factory. It was, in fact, at that gallery that we’d first encountered her work many […]
The rumors are true
After 8 years and one month I have switched employers. The transition from old to new was filled with more than a few surprises, but that isn’t anything that should be announced on a blog. What can be announced is that I’ll be part of the Direct Marketing team at Kaiser Permanente in Burbank starting April […]
Sara / Wyatt Wedding weekend
On Friday Sam and I made the long journey to LAX from Hollywood and took a tiny Delta plane to Phoenix. We finally arrived to our destination at almost midnight. We had been invited to the wedding of on of Sam’s coworker a few months ago and my old college racquetball opponent, Rufus, invited us […]
weekly hiking
On Wednesday nights I’ve been hiking with a group of Korean guys (one is a friend I’ve known for a long time in Los Angeles). I always forget my camera, and there is almost always some incredible sunset or view from the top. This past Wednesday neither the sunset nor the view were incredible, but I finally […]
current events
On Sunday the 10th we had another couple we met in grad school over to our condo. We’d seen them last maybe a year and a half ago, when they were expecting. Now they brought their 1 year old daughter over for lunch. She was enamored for a short while with our “pet” squirrel. Sam […]
Mt. Wilson Hike
For months now my friend has been trying to get me to go with him to hike Mt. Wilson. He already went twice without me, once I was out of town (or something) and the last time, in January, I had a heel fissure. On February 24th I agreed to go. My friend showed with […]
Supernatural Sighting
On February 9th Sam and I had the pleasure of joining a new/old friend for a casual birthday gathering in Los Feliz. I met M back in college when we had dinner together at Byron’s parents’ house. M was one of Byron’s roommates at Ohio University. After that dinner we never really had the opportunity […]
