Today I called the HOA office as soon as they opened. This time I didn’t talk to Jennifer, but some other woman. This woman dug up a sheet on the plumbing procedures for the building. She said that I didn’t need to shut off the water for the entire building – but just for my […]
Leaky Part II
Saturday morning I headed to the local Home Depot to find a new kitchen faucet. The model that I wanted (I needed one with a white finish, and they had only three) couldn’t be found. The inventory system showed six remaining, but the attendant couldn’t figure out where they were. So, I was off to […]

Happy birthday aunt Lois
Happy birthday to my Aunt Lois, one of the few family members not living on Silver Globe road that read this blog. I *heard she was snowed (iced?) in today and couldn’t go to work. Must have been dissapointed!
uh…okay…
So I tried to do the pmachine to wordpress conversion… Anyone trying to look at my site from the straight home URL noticed some stuff was up. First of all it overwrote my index.html file. So that is gone. I uninstalled wordpress but now I have to dig up an old copy of the index.html […]
leaky
I’ve known that something was leaking in the kitchen sink for a while. Lately the amount of displaced water has gotten worse and worse so I did some investigating last night. After spending about half an hour prying off the washer (nut???) underneath I was able to pull up the faucet about four inches and […]
when hell freezes over
We’ve been having very strange weather in the valley lately. The other day it was hailing. Yesterday the wind was blowing so hard it blew apart a power cable on top of the office. Today I woke up to a sight that I hadn’t seen in four previous winters in Los Angeles. Yes, that is […]
pressing
one of these days very soon I’m going to attempt to switch everything on this blog from being run by Pmachine to WordPress. There isn’t a cut and dry process for this – and needless to say I’m no programmer … so you may come to visit one day and find a blank screen… or […]
all hail broke loose
Yesterday around 3:30pm PST it started hailing in the valley. It did it once for maybe five minutes, and then started again a few minutes later for a second round. Everyone at the office was pretty jazzed about it except for me. I’ve seen the car repair bill for hail damage. I’ve seen (home) windows […]
orientation
On Saturday I woke up bright and early (okay, maybe not so bright) to attend the Pepperdine incoming MBA student orientation. By my count there were about 160 students. After getting funnelled through the ID taking room (which backed up quickly after I’d come through) we went to a breakfast room. It became very apparent […]
