We enjoyed our brief day in the sun this weekend, from check-in at 3:00 on Saturday until check-out the next noon.We maxed out our time, hitting the Fountain Coffee Shop, the Polo Lounge, and the pool, and spending some quality time lounging in our room. Our second room, that is; our first room, which we […]

Next stop, Beverly Hills
April 27th, 2007 · Comments Off on Next stop, Beverly Hills
I don’t really like these “week in review”-type posts, but I don’t have any time these days for more regular writing, so this’ll do. It’s been a long week, for some reason, though it hasn’t been as busy as other recent weeks. We had a good night at trivia on Tuesday, second place despite getting […]

Another busy week has passed as we head into spring and I head deeper into marathon training, 35 miles between last Sunday and yesterday. On Tuesday, we headed to the House of Blues to show our support for City Year LA, and Ali and Michael, who were running the show to raise funds (and friends) […]

Downtown Sunday
April 16th, 2007 · Comments Off on Downtown Sunday
With my last “easy” weekend of running until, well, August, we took advantage of the gorgeous, sunny day on Sunday to do a little exploring downtown. We’d been to the Disney Concert Hall and MOCA before, and Aimee had recently been to the Cathedral on a field trip, but the walking tour we took tied […]

I saw an ad for the new Onion News Network today, hosted by anchor Brian Scott, which is kind of funny. When I searched for it online, I came across this story, in which Brian Scott brings us an interview with Wes Meechum. Now I’m getting suspicious… This fake news network is, of course, sponsored […]

Windy city
April 13th, 2007 · Comments Off on Windy city
It’s been a pleasant week here, aside from the crazy wind yesterday. The under-renovation 20-story Sunset Vine Tower two blocks up from work was covered in a skin-tight Motorola ad for the first few months I was here, but that eventually disintegrated and blew away. Two days ago, workmen finished putting up a massive cloth […]

Quiet week
April 10th, 2007 · Comments Off on Quiet week
It’s been a pretty quiet few days here, things are back to normal with Aimee back in town after her spring break, and she’s started up at school again. I’m in the third week of marathon training, and it’s going ok, with a nice nine-mile run in Santa Monica on Sunday and a day off […]

GTD in Anchorage
April 3rd, 2007 · Comments Off on GTD in Anchorage
This past weekend, I had a brief but very enjoyable trip home to Anchorage. Aimee is still in Boston for her spring break, so I went back by myself, on the early flight to Anchorage via Seattle on Friday morning, getting in around 1:00 in the afternoon, and returning on the non-stop red-eye, leaving at […]

Treasure trove
April 1st, 2007 · Comments Off on Treasure trove
Sometimes you find some amazing things while rummaging around in the basement. I’ve been home for the weekend visiting the folks, and in my ongoing attempt to get rid of some of the less important stuff in the many boxes of my things still in the basement, I came across this photo, from when I […]
