Keyes Acura
What a hideous day, car-wise. Took my 2005 TL into Keys Acrua in Van Nuys to have the air conditioning looked at for the FOURTH time. Can you say Lemon Law? Understand – I live in the San Fernando Valley, where it is 100 degrees and above most days of the summer. No air conditioning […]
On Vacation
Up to Blacklake Country Club, near Nipomo with Pam and Sydney to meet the parents, sister, and other friends. Flew the 182 into Santa Maria after a great flight. Played 36 holes today (86-79) and likely play 18 tomorrow. Pam’s birthday tonight as well. Life is good.
My tired muscles
Getting serious now – and the results are starting to come. Working out 6 days a week now (one day weight training, then one day of cardio, repeat) and throwing in nightly walks, bike riding, swimming (lessons from Pammy – she’s awesome) and racquetball should round it all out. Also radically altered my diet, thanks […]
Health and Work updates
Still hitting the gym pretty regularly. My trainer, Steve, is apparently trying to kill me. Pushing very hard, and the effects are starting to come. Dropping pounds, building some muscle, and feeling better overall. Doctor appointment Thursday, so we’ll see what he says. Work is good – busier than ever. Starting a business with a […]
Big changes
A lot going on – so here are the pictures from New York with Sydney. Health: At the advice of my doctor, I checked out Lindora. Like a Weight Watchers or one of those, but much more intense. 10 weeks, lose 40 pounds, do EXACTLY what they say, and come in for progress checks EVERY […]
Sydney in the Big Apple
For Sydney’s Easter vacation (and another remarkably good report card), I decided to cash in a couple of award tickets and take her to New York. Her first time. Very exciting. Staying at The Regency Hotel – just fantastic. Room is big (if not a tad pricey – but hey – it is on Park […]
My Health
Got sick 12 days ago, and am still dealing with some bronchitis as a result. Decided to take this opportunity to dump my previous doctor who hasn’t done anything proactive for me in a LONG time, and switch to a guy in Encino who comes highly recommended. In short, it was a great move. Got […]
Glock me
Got a Glock 34. Needed a 9mm in my collection, so this was the one to get. Got this one off GunBroker, which was my first time buying a gun off the net. Major league pain in the ass. Had to coordinate shipping to an authorized transfer agent, go to the agent to fill out […]
Sydney at Disneyland
Sydney danced again at Disneyland today – just like last year. It was great of course, and she did a great job in a more supporting role. Her Alice role will be her big one this year. 🙂 She got such a spectacular report card this quarter, that I decided to take her to New […]
Sydney = Alice
Meant to post about this before, but only getting to it now. Sydney auditioned at her dance school for a part in “Alice in Wonderland”. It was a general audition, so I was really excited when she got called back for a second, tougher audition. I felt like it was unlikely that she’d get any […]
