Knife To Meet You
I’ll spare you any photographic evidence and just say that the new set of Wolfgang Puck knives that Susan bought recently are REALLY sharp. I know this firsthand… or rather first finger. Thumb, actually. The right one.
I was chopping up some veggies for my morning breakfast scramble: mushrooms, peppers and spinach and I decided to [...]

Turkey Shoot
Just crossed my mind so I figured I’d chuck its triviality up here. I love the TV series 24, but I can only hope last night’s episode proves to be the weakest link and the series doesn’t stretch its ridiculousness any further than it already has.
That terrorists were granted access to the president of the [...]

It’s Just The Geek In Me: Goin’ Mobile
Thanks to the redesign of the Blogging.la site, which debuted yesterday, winksite.com was brought to my attention. What is winksite? Basically it’s an online community tht provides internet-challenged doofii such as myself with an easy way to port or produce content to any web-enabled mobile phone. So not only can you now wrap around my [...]

Blowin’ In The Wind
So I’ve let the dog out into the backyard to go pee, at about the same time as I do every day, and she trots on out, does her business then goes sniffing around the new look I’ve given the southeast corner before coming back to the grassy area under the tree with the fragrant [...]

Notch-urally
I skipped my weekly weigh-in yesterday. I made the decision to do that the previous Sunday when my scale showed I hadn’t lost any weight and my wife’s scale had me at 257.5 — 5.5 pounds more than what my scale showed.
So I decided to step off the devices in part because they are inexact [...]

Walkabout
Susan and I braved any unstable air masses, cold temps, and dark clouds for a walk that turned into a five miler, with a break halfway for a brunch at the new Flor Morena Fine Foods restaurant that opened in Silver Lake a few doors down from the Edendale Grill on Rowena where it meets [...]

Forget It Jake, It’s Chinatown
Susan and I headed down to Olvera Street this afternoon for lunch at El Paseo Inn and for the annual Lantern Festival taking place in the nearby El Pueblo de Los Angeles historical monument. We got there too early to enjoy the good stuff (the lion dance and the silver dragon parade) and split before [...]

Bike Rhymes With Like
Mack Reed over at L.A. Voice, who I’ve previously dubbed L.A.’s unofficial bikepoet laurreate supplied an excellent post with tons of pix about the cycling route he took this morning that included the bikeway between the Golden State Freeway and the L.A. River.
It was enough to get me nostalgic over the route I’d charted a [...]

Slip ‘N Fall
I’d rather not write about this. I’d rather just personally and privately acknowledge the binge and move on. But in the interest of keeping it real and not wanting anyone to continue believing I have some sort of ironclad willpower, here’s what happened.
I went to the supermarket today. The trip began with me on the [...]

Sing Us A Song You’re The Piano Cat…
It’s only been very recently that the generally reclusive and recalcitrant Bink (whose somewhat devilish demeanor led me to dub him “binkubus” early on in our relationship… I think specifically it was after he bit me on the head while I slept one early morning) has begun emerging from his shell and not only broadening [...]
