Wherein we take the in-laws to Chinatown (and a few other pictures too)
Aviva’s mom Lil and one of her brothers, Brian, came to visit us. I took a day off and we decided to go to Chinatown. In addition to pictures we took in Chinatown, there are a couple shots from a shopping trip at a garden supply shop and Aviva meeting the monster…

Weekend in Palm Desert
Lily doesn’t like dogs. They’re dirty, she says – they smell and they’re dangerous. After this weekend, Aviva’s mom changed her mind a little bit. She agreed we could bring our new puppy Iggy to her house as long as we brought his “cage,” a metal and plastic fence that can be shaped in many […]

Pasadena
Yesterday, we decided to take a trip out to Pasadena with our new puppy Iggy. As usual, we got a late start… 🙂 Our first stop was the Armory Center for the Arts, which was formerly an armory (seems like its very popular to turn armories into art galleries); the photo show was interesting: Jeff […]

The Griffith Observatory (and dinner in Los Feliz)
We decided to check out the Griffith Observatory, which stands on one of the higher hills in Los Angeles; Aviva’s brother Howard took his family up there and said the views were amazing. We stopped at Wacko on the way – its a cool store for books and odd gifts; I kid you not, there’s […]

Malibu Hindu Temple and metal animals at Oasis Imports
We decided to go for a drive yesterday; Aviva had rediscovered the Malibu Hindu Temple and we both wanted to check it out. So we bundled all three of us, including Iggy, into the car and drove to Malibu. The temple is quite impressive as you can tell from the pictures below. Best of all, […]

Iggy’s first long car ride, the Chemosphere house, and the Hollywood Bowl
Yesterday we took Iggy for his first longish car trip; we decided to drive down Mulholland drive from Laurel Canyon to the 101. Our first stop was the Chemosphere house; this is a famous architectural landmark designed by John Lautner, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 1960. It looks like a space ship landed […]

The Getty Museum
After driving home from ComicCon 2009, we decided to visit the Getty Museum, since Nathan, my son, had never been there. Its a picturesque large museum overlooking Los Angeles; the Getty has the largest art conservatorship in the United States. Aviva and I have been to the Getty Museum before to see the Bernini and […]

ComicCon 2009, Thursday: Pictures
My son Nathan and I attended the Thursday opening of ComicCon 2009; we had a great time, we walked the whole exhibit hall floor. I got a couple gifts for people that are friends on Twitter. And I posted tweets regularly with photos from the event, which some folks seemed to really enjoy. Here’s a […]

A massage, chairs in a window, the Farmers Market, and some
Another posting of miscellaneous stuff we did recently. Aviva got me a massage for my birthday, so I went to the local spa/training place; it was a very nice massage, helped relax my neck. We also took a trip to the Farmer’s Market and the Grove in LA – here’s a metal sculpture there: We […]

My 50th birthday celebration
We decided to go out for dinner for my birthday on Friday July 3 because most of the good places are closed on the 4th. We drove down to west Hollywood to check out the latest version of my glasses – they’re still too big but much closer, hopefully we’ll be ready to order them […]
