I had to fire someone for the first time yesterday. Ironically I ended up having to (getting to?) do it via email since the employee was off site and didn’t respond to my phone calls. Since this position was/is important we immediately re posted the job ad on craigslist. I get the strangest emails from […]
Art Walk January
Another second thursday – another art walk downtown. Once again, I drove to Sam’s office to pick her up. I decided to take a new route to try and avoid traffic, which was maybe five miles longer and looped around downtown – but was much quicker. This put me on the 5 south connecting to […]
Hive January
Attended the Hive Tarot show tonight. There were a lot of interesting pieces. This is one of their most popular themed group shows. I got there around 10pm and it was really hard to move around; a good thing for artists getting their name out, but a bad thing for me casually perusing the […]
new post
Someone near and dear noticed last night that I haven’t posted a lot lately. I’d like to say I’ve been busy – but that is really only half true. I’ve been sick for the last week and haven’t felt like doing much of anything (productive). That’s the second illness in four months… Before last September […]
I want my 15 minutes too!
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 […]
Sunday – the day of rest
Originally I’d planned to take my parents to Malibu Creek State Park for a five hour hike, but they requested a break from hiking after the previous two days’ outings. We started the day at A&W Seafood buffet in Northridge and then headed to the Lamps Plus outlet store so my mom could shop for […]
More photos from graduation
More photos are starting to filter in from Saturday. 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
On Saturday morning I walked across a stage, shook a few hands and left with a new acronym to put after my name. More photos will be up on facebook (and maybe here) later that were taken by my friends that came to the event (thanks Cindy, Victor, JC and Myra!), but below are some […]
