UPDATED (November 28, 2020): So eleven full years after this encounter, something extraordinary has happened concerning the videos I posted about it over on YouTube. Seemingly out of nowhere those clips that I hung up over at my quiet little YouTube channel have for reasons beyond my understanding suddenly found their way onto the screens …

I had my biannual visit to the dentist this morning, his Miracle Mile office of which is conveniently located only a couple blocks from a freshly installed exhibit featuring sections of the Berlin Wall and commemorating the 20th anniversary of its fall.

Despite a restless night of little sleep I got up this morning, shook off the fatigue and got on my bike from my location in San Diego’s Mission Valley for a bit of a destination-unknown ride. Roughly 24 miles later (granted, just a drop in the gridscape bucket), I do hereby declare this city to …

The Hancock Park-adjacent neighborhood bordered by Larchmont and Van Ness to the west and east, and Melrose and Beverly to the north and south is really a gem. Quiet, tree-lined streets front well-kept single-family homes in a variety of styles, along with duplexes, quads, and a smattering of larger multi-unit apartment buildings. As a student …

Sometimes My Impatience Pays
