All Wet
At first I thought the sound I was hearing was from my neighbor’s predawn sprinklers working a little overtime, but you can bet I was surprised to find the rare and far more natural form of irrigation at work when I got up this morning.
Rain?
I haven’t been an ardent follower of the local weather report, […]

Making A List
Things I Wanna Do This Weekend (and probably will):
Bike up to the Hollywood nunnery and get a loaf of pumpkin bread (thanks for the reminder Militant!)
Begin my Christmas shopping
Clean the bike (and change the slow-leaking rear innertube)
Take Susan to dinner at that new El Caserio restaurant on Silver Lake Boulevard north of the 101
Put up […]

For The Birds
I reconnected one of the webcams and pointed at the birdbath outside since it’s finally been getting some visits from the locals. Obviously it’s likely to be more miss than hit as to whether you’ll see a bird in the static images that are served up, so I also archived all the pix captured into […]

Technorati Blog Claim In Progress
Technorati Profile
Nothing to see here folks. Just following my blogbuddy Jo Gillis’ lead and going through the motions of doing something I shoulda done years ago: making my blog visible to the spideys of Technorati. Move along.

For The Love Of Shadow
Shadow’s present affliction is a mild blow, but a blow nonetheless — and one that resonates. She’s improved, which is good. But she’s old, which is what it is.
Shadow came into my life as a handful of pup when I found her abandoned at Lake Balboa in the Sepulveda basin on Labor Day, 1994. I […]

Within Reach
Having not biked an inch while traveling this past week and also having amply stockpiled moooore than enough calories before, during and after this Thanksgiving, I’m opting to make this back-t0-work week a full bike-to-work one in part so that I can burn some of this excess fuel as well as enter the final month […]

Thanksgiving 2007 Photos Are Up
But instead of amassing them in one big set I’ve built a Thanksgiving 2007 collection broken down into smaller sets of the specific places Susan and I visited. Captions and details of individual images forthcoming.

Here We Are
Saturday morning was spent with one last wander around downtown Charleston before saying goodbye and finally getting a move on up to the Magnolia Plantation, where we spent a few hours wandering the gardens before getting ourselves over to Charleston International Airport to board a 7:17 flight to Atlanta and from there climbed onto a […]

We Saw A Bald Eagle
If you’d never heard of Murrells Inlet (where we’ve been since flying in Wednesday morning), it’s quite the wonderful little place and yesterday Susan’s mom gave us a tour that included a walk around the saltmarsh, a cemetery visit, and a walk through the landmark Archer Huntington residence called Atalaya.
On the early morning stroll along […]
