2 Like 2 Bike 2 Like 2 Bike 2
The odometer on The Phoenix this morning stands at 1296.2 year-to-date miles, and I’ve done a decent share this week-to-date as well. Tuesday morning begin with the usual Silver Lake Reservoir rounds and I circled her four times for about 12 miles to and from my house. Then Tuesday evening I was invited to participate […]

An Inspector Calls, Part Deux
I’m not going to worry about linking back to the previous frustrations regarding the water heaters other than to remind anyone who might recall how the initial Building & Safety Department inspector wouldn’t sign off on it when he was first out way back at the end of May and I pretty much blew a […]

The Latest Rescue
This is Bridget. I found here on my way to Costco yesterday. She was wandering Silver Lake Boulevard at the Sunset Boulevard overpass. When I pulled out of flowing traffic away from all the other people to whom she was invisible and came to her assistance she was very happy. I was happy to find […]

Hey, We’re Walkin’ Here!
To say they “walk together” is incorrect. While they technically traverse the block at the same time, they do so with distinctly unsynched personality and energy levels, leaving me in the middle trying to keep their leads untangled.

The Bink Is Back
I suppose I should return to this blog after such an extended absence with something profound, but I have been feeling decidedly less than profound of late, so a post about the return of one of our AWOL cats will have to suffice:
