Finally saw the Los Angeles Dodgers today
And I have the sunburn to prove it. Our extended development team (including engineers, quality assurance, business analysts and project managers) went to Dodger Stadium to see the Dodgers get whipped by the Reds 7 to 2. We had fun anyway; one of our running jokes was how many more innings the Dodgers would need […]

Pics from the dog park
The Sepulveda Off-Leash Dog Park is about 15 minutes from our home; we love to take Iggy and Jett there, they run around with the other small dogs and have a great time! If you’re staying in the valley with your dog consider bringing him or her over to the park. Here are some pictures….

My new watch
I ordered a watch for less than $10 (including shipping) online – it looked cool in the ad and now that I’ve got it I think it’s really neat. I love watches that don’t get in the way, and this one qualifies. As you can see from the picture, you push a button and some […]

And of course tomorrow is Aviva’s birthday so we went out tonight for her […]
