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 […]
Disneyland
Sam loves to go to Disneyland; I’m not sure if it’s the idea of being a kid again, the rides, or what. I’m not as big a fan (I grew up on steel roller-coasters not teacups), but I know that Sam will really enjoy it, so I end up going with her every other year or so (she […]
old friends and new dinners
At the end of 2012 Sam and I made huge strides to get our condo ready for guests. Other friends had stopped by of course in the six months since we’d bought the place, but it was always in a state of flux with furniture, repairs, etc. all pending. By the time my parents showed […]
Goodbye cruel world…
I read a lot about longevity. I’m one of the few people who actually wants to be frozen like a popsicle when I die in the hopes that I can be thawed out when … well, whenever, I guess. I keep up on all of the Singularity developments. I read Kurzweil’s blog. I know who […]
