I'm running late, but I'll be here! Will you?

LAMeander

one of our intrepid meanderers..

The last couple Sundays I was lucky to join the group of cyclists called "la bike meander" which heads out every Sunday around 10am from the Toy Factory Lofts over on Industrial. They don't go anywhere in particular, not too fast, and it's not necessarily a flat ride, but then again, sometimes it is. =)

I had fun, I took some pix and I even posted them to my flickr. I really had a good time and while I can't always expect to go every Sunday, I'll try and make it now and again. Thanks bunches to the nice folks I rode with. =)

When St Patricks Day is over.. the cold begins!

holidays come & go and with it a big cold. Suffice to say I'm glad to be out in the fresh air, and we'll see how long that lasts =)

This is who I've been spending my days with.. curled up next to me purring to her heart's content:

Kiki (named from the Miyazaki character)

Ok.. enough about me, except maybe that there's nothing better than hot tea and fresh air to get me feeling better about myself.

Oh, and Walter if you are reading this you passed me by as you walked by Banquette this morning. I don't have my lungs back but I would have shouted to you if I could have. *grin*

Here's hoping the good luck hasn't left me along with the cold.

speaking of happy things..

HAPPY ART WALK DAY!!! =)
EDIT/UPDATE 1030am:
ps: my cel phone is working again.. AND I have a new local number!!!

while you're waiting

for another idea to come along..

=)

green hills and botanica & history

the hills are a lovely green..


stumbling upon the Lummis Home & Gardens


came upon a beautiful space..


where things were in bloom..



and a door was open.

downtown riders ride at night..

I scanned the gang of cyclists for familiar faces as they zoomed by on their bikes.


"Come ride with us!" said someone.. as I snapped this photo, the cyclists rode by me on my way back from catching live music on a late Friday night. Another rider chanted "one of us! one of us!" as I gave them the "thumbs up." I was really wishing that I didn't need to go back, and could join up with them on whatever was left of their midnight ride. I'm sure it was fun, whatever road they traveled.

Safe journeys to them all.

early morning ramblings

This last week has been terribly busy & bumpy in a mostly good way, but one barely takes a breath before realizing the week is out and you wonder where the days went.

I could do a Chinese Lunar New Year post.. I was there, and the festivities were great and food amazing, and Valentine's Day was full of art, and hearts.. some of them broken, and some on the mend. Lots of walking, lots of talking, bands, buses, and more food.

Then there was last night which included more art, some notes, and a special viewing of a special photo essay projection, and many familiar faces and places. Despite the turn in the weather, (it's been getting a little chilly and breezy the last couple days) and a long cold walk home, it's good.

I'd post photos but so many have done so already. =) Just know there are people out there doing some great and amazing things. It's a better & lovelier world because of them, (and no, I'm not talking about me).

Beneath the tree

I sat to listen to the music.

Thinking of Bob

This is one of my favorite pix of me and my brothers (Bob on the left & Craig on the right). What a chubby little rugrat. I didn't know I was allergic to chocolate yet, I don't think... Look how happy we are. =)

You'd never know I'd grow up to be so freaking emo =P

If you have diabetes, take care of yourself.. and if you don't, take care of yourself. Someone is thinking of you even if you don't know it.
