White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Tomorrow morning I start my new contract programming gig- for the past 7 years I have been very spoiled as I have had a contract with Sempra Energy that allowed me to work at home, bill a great hourly rate, and NEVER attend meetings (I think twice I had to go to San Diego to [...]

I really don’t know what’s wrong with me the last few days- I have been in a very bad mood, as any of you who read my posts and comments can probably sense.
When I was walking Isis tonite, some kind of big, crazy looking Hispanic tattoed-up guy got in my face- I assume [...]

I feel so terrible- I took White Dog out for her noon walk, and I forgot to bring my “poop bags” with me (I was deep in thought about where I was going to get my “fast food” lunch when I left my loft).
As soon as Isis started “getting busy” on the grass in front [...]

I blogged about this over a year ago, and almost forgot about it- Los Angeles City (put department name here) is very good about sweeping things under the carpet and hoping we forget about them.
I walk by these high-priced fancy toilets often- well, actually, I only pass by one working one (at 5th and Hill) [...]

I know there is not a thing anyone can do about this particular closure, as it needs to happen for the widening of 2nd St. But I really did not see it coming- I thought they were taking 1 lane away from 2nd St, westbound between Los Angeles St and Main St- no big [...]

We attended our second-ever Downtown Dog Walk last night, and White Dog did a pretty good job of not being a pain-in-the-a##. The dog walkers meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month at Pershing Square and at 6:15pm the walk begins. The first walk I went on we walked to LA Live and [...]

She seems to be a little better with new leash and new “socialization” thanks to walkfido.com, so we are going to head over to Pershing Square meeting place at 6pm for tonite’s monthly Downtown dog walk. I think she’ll bark a little at first, but once we get walking she’ll be fine, as long [...]

I figured it was about time to buy some new athletic shoes- the ones I wear when I do the 10 mile walks / day. I usually stick with things that I like, and I was going to buy same shoes again, but then I thought maybe a different style would perhaps fit slightly [...]

Yesterday City Hall and surrounding blocks were host to 35,000+ folks, with about 50% under the age of 10. What was the attraction? A hot new “boy band” was appearing? A circus had come downtown? Nope- they were here to buy BOOKS! The “Feria Del Libro: A Family Book Fair [...]

This weekend, the weather was beautiful- blue sky, gentle breezes, and a nice 75-degree or so temperature midday. So I decided I wanted to try to really get White Dog tired- push her to the limit- and see how she behaves. So Saturday and Sunday I upped the dog walks to 2- 2 [...]
