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 […]

My new wedding ring and another shot of Iggy
I love titanium wedding rings – they are light and typically of modern design. But, my old one was getting a little tight and, due to its design (a small diamond leaving a hole in the back) I was getting dermatitis underneath. So we bought me a new ring (also titanium): I also took a […]

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 […]

Iggy chasing his leg
Iggy gets excited when he sees his reflection in the mirror – today he got so excited he chased his leg. You see, they dock a schipperke’s tail as very young pups, so they chase their legs instead of their tails (naturally).

Iggy! Our new puppy!
Our beloved dog Basil died three weeks ago, and we just couldn’t be without a schipperke. We contacted all the schipperke breeders in southern California and found two puppies. One of those pups is Jake, who is now Iggy (yes, after Iggy Pop) and a member of our family! A made a little video aggregate […]
