River Run
Saturday morning was spent with some L.A. County Bike Coalition members and volunteers to help post signage that will keep 6th Annual Los Angeles River Ride riders headed in the right direction today.
From the Los Angeles River Center I biked down to Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights where, with the assistance of Bruce Dobb and [...]

Fool Me Twice Shame On Me
Since the latest season of Thursday’s Survivor is over, Susan and I opted to watch The New World last night and dammit I should’ve known better. See, I suffered Mallick’s previous film The Thin Red Line and swore I’d never give anything Terrence did the time of day. In fact I said more than that [...]

What’s Old Is New
Regardless of its triviality, I need to immortalize the t-shirt I wore today because 1) I’ve had it for more than 15 years, and 2) I wore it for the very first time today.
I bought it in the very early 1990s when I took a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed Ennis-Brown House in [...]

The Cage Of Associations
So I chose today to be the day to go down to City Hall (by bike of course since it’s L.A.’s annual Bike To Work Day) and take care of the business license/tax money I owed because the city somehow couldn’t find me to collect so they shipped my account off to a collection agency [...]

Manifestation Of Loss
I found it interesting to realize that the amount of weight I’ve lost since beginning my diet in January now corresponds to a filled one of these five-gallon jobbers…
…which translates to 43 pounds. Having once been employed to carry these where ever they needed to go, it’s a weight with which I’m definitely familiar. But [...]

All Business
My quick-’n-dirty business cards arrived via VistaPrint today. I ordered them after attending the blogger gathering at the Golden Gopher last week and I was practically the only one who didn’t have one to hand out. So I went home and whipped one up via VP’s handy cardbuilding tool — even used a photo I [...]

Two Years Ago Today…
Not much in the way of happenings today so I figured I’d jump in the time machine and go back a couple years in which a whole lotta not much was going on May 15, 2004:
Susan and I finally got up around 10 a.m. (love having nothing to do on a lazy Saturday morning), and [...]

Weekend Wrap
Saturday was another episode of Get Outta The House, with Susan and I deciding to make a return visit the the San Gabriel Mountains and hike the Sam Merrill Trail, which we had seen snaking and switchbacking its way up across the canyon during our nature walk up to Inspiration Point a couple weeks previous. [...]

Divine Intervention
Ridazz heading over the Sixth Street Bridge at 11:20 p.m.
(larger version here)
I’m just back from tonight’s monthly Midnight Ridazz bike ride, and it was a doozy. Easily a thousand cyclists. You’ll have to forgive me for not being as interested in talking about the ride as about the crash I didn’t have but should’ve. A [...]

Two Eight Teen
My weekly average weight loss seems to have been reigned in a bit. I’m down from dropping about two pounds every seven days to a pound, which is fine. It corresponds with the fact that I’m no longer so arduously attempting to keep my calories below 2,000 per day and that’s attributable to my recent [...]
