“The Wrestler”, Magellan’s and dinner in Santa Monica, CA
I had a manicure and pedicure at 8:30A (those that know me know I’m a morning person) and a haircut at 11A, so we lost our morning, although I certainly enjoyed both. So Aviva and I headed out for Santa Monica after lunch. Our first stop was the cinema, as we both wanted to see […]

Learning all the time, really
While blowing through RSS feeds this morning, I found Seth Godin’s latest post, Learning all the time. I had two reactions. First, I wouldn’t equate reading blogs to continuous learning; I know people who go through blogs and don’t seem to learn anything – there’s no change. You can gain knowledge or you can learn; […]

Kicking around Sherman Oaks
We decided to take the dog for a window shopping trip on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks. Aviva got to have her picture taken with President Obama (well, almost). A golf shop was under construction and they had some cool machines inside. And I bought a really cool tee shirt at one of the shops.

The Filth
