It’s Sunday… I will be sharing bagels with my two Valentine’s, luckily no reservations needed at Panera!  It’s nice that it backs up to President’s Day, we get a nice three day weekend.

There is a free soccer expo at the Convention Center this weekend.  I am excited, spring will be here soon, which means festival season will be in ful effect, and you know how I love festivals.

So many businesses in my neighborhood have gone under lately ( Howe’s should be closing any day, the local frozen yogurt place, the cupcake store is moving to a smaller location), that’s not a sign of things getting better.  That hope we all had is kind of fading, we need to see some action.

Lucy has really taken to reading, and she’s really great at it!  It makes me feel so good to see her take an interest in learning.

Bad wax job.   I liked the way Crazy Jim put it, “I got slow.”  The shakey city.  Rest in peace Capt. Phil, Deadliest Catch won’t be the same without you!  This is horrible.   New 911 photos.  hey kids, wanna sell some pee?  I love these frogmen!  Good news for Stench!!!!

Rock On, Jack

Is well, Perfect!  What a beautiful day, clear, warm, just the best So Cal winter day.  I know that those of you on the East Coast are getting blasted by cold, but here it couldn’t be better.

I kind of bummed, the Howe’s Market near my place is shutting down.  It was too pricey for me to do my regular shopping there, but it was perfect for the kids to get a treat at the bakery or stop in to see the lobsters…  And lets not forget, it had a bar in it!  So much for shopping and wine tasting.  It’s a bad sign for the neighborhood too, it shows that they really haven’t brought in the upscale industry types they were hoping too, the NoHo Arts District may really just be North Hollywood with bad public art.  Not that there aren’t a few good places left, The Kids and I highly recommend Pit Fire Pizza (The kids call it “Pizza Fire”) on the corner of Lankershim and Magnolia, They just remodeled our Ralph’s on Magnolia and Vineland,  Eclectic on Lankershim near Magnolia has a good Sunday brunch menu and Little Toni’s is very good too.

I’m excited for Stench, he has a few job options going right now, I hope one of them works out… His wife has been making his life hell, I just want to see him catch a break.  Nothing is worse than dreading being at home because all you get is grief.

For the few ladies who haven’t seen him shirtless in person.  Wheeling, that’s where I was born.   Not so sweet if you’re in Bako.  Sacred spud.  Cop busted making a donation.   The strips aren’t the only dirty things in this club.  You can die from this?  Babies and chop sticks don’t mix.  Frogger pro.  Pirates move to land.  Rubber thieves.

Rock On, Jack
