For the past week my coworkers have been dropping like flies. Some sort of bug has nested in our little building. I started feeling funky last week – and still feel funky today. Even so, I wasn’t about to cancel on my dinner date with Beverly. I had promised her a home cooked meal – […]
boring bot
After Victor helped me retrieve some deleted data from my hard drives this morning (my external is still a total loss, though) we headed down to the Wired NextFest. We parked at the meters a few blocks away from the convention center – a trick I learned years ago that has never failed (to keep […]

time passes
On Sunday my parents and I went out for a gut-busting breakfast at Denny’s before I dropped them off at LAX. I guess they had an okay time, but I felt like a poor host. For almost half their visit they were sweating in near three-digit indoor heat. Saturday I managed to completely obliterate my […]
snapp to it
On Saturday I brought my parents to the Buckeye packed Yankee Doodles in Woodland Hills. Steve Snapp’s older brother was on hand to shake hands and squeeze out alumni dollars. After the (predictable) buckeye win we stayed an extra ten minutes to see the thrilling conclusion of Michigan’s season opener that will surely go down […]

After arriving home very late on Wednesday night I was delighted (with sarcasm) to feel the hot air of a broken air conditioner greet me once again at my door. My parents were coming on Friday morning – so I bought new fuses (again) on Thursday after work and installed them. My prayers would not […]
Apple and AT&T – two faulty products made for each other

Garden Variety
Eight months earlier I’d taken my parents to Huntington Library and Gardens. My parents decided to forgo the Garden to get on with the other scheduled events of the day (which was lunch at Houston’s I believe and then The Gamble House). On Sunday I revisited the Garden with Beverly after stopping for lunch at […]
wow…okay…
cute and cuddly?
“I said Salsa, not Seltzer”
After work today I sped fast down the 101 and 405 en route to West Los Angeles. Today would be another small milestone for the book of “I’ll try anything once.” I picked her up at her office and by 7pm Beverly and I had arrived at Ma’Kai and hoofed to our reserved table ahead […]
