locked and loaded
My thanksgiving weekend started on Thanksgiving morning with a heaping helping of Beverly’s veal Parmesan. I had to leave in a hurry though to go home and prepare for the imminent of arrival of some special guests. I picked up my parents at 6:30 from Bob Hope airport. They wanted to eat dinner, but our […]
the friendliest airport in America
On Sunday we checked out of the hotel and headed straight back to the spot we’d left the night before. We headed east around Bell Rock and quickly noted that with the amount of photo-stoppage time that would be applied to our game – we’d never finish before the buzzer (our park pass from Saturday […]
for whom the bell rocks
Saturday morning we awoke to sounds of ducks outside our window providing pre-game entertainment. After The Game we at lunch at the Red Chopstick. Best Chinese cuisine in town – of course it was also the only Chinese cuisine in town. After filling our bellies we went a few hundred feet north and turned into […]
hop skip and hobble
After a short hop across highway 10 east I landed at the Phoenix airport around 11am. 45 minutes later I was in a rental car and on my way to the Valley Ho hotel to pick up Beverly from her conference. The hotel was totally remodelled to be straight out of a 60s late night […]

On Friday night Beverly’s connections at the British Embassy once again netted us a good time. We were able to attend a free private screening on the Paramount studios lot for Across the Universe. This is the private theater used at the studio to screen their films for employees. As such it was 100 times […]

After Beverly came back from taking her mother to the Emergency Room (the flu) on her (Beverly’s) birthday I took her out to dinner at Chaya. 12 hours later she tumbled down her apartment steps and has an ankle with breakage status still unknown. She has seen doctors and taken MRIs – but we won’t […]
I’m no expert but…damn!
So you’ll notice that the images up there on the left work now. Someone who likes to remain anonymous – but knows how to code anything and everything took a five second look at the php code yesterday, made a few keystrokes, and fixed a problem that frustrated me for hours last year when I […]
the gay and narrow
Wednesday I sped down to West Los Angeles to join Beverly and her coworkers to be voyours of the 16th annual halloween carnaval in west hollywood. One of her coworkers knew the owner of a boutique on Sunset and so we were able to park behind the building 0.5 blocks south of the parade (normal […]
