The fabric district, found roughly along 9th street between San Julian and Santee Streets in Los Angeles (exit the 10 at San Pedro), easily makes my top ten places to be in LA. Rebecca H. first introduced me to its bolts upon bolts of fabric at wholesale prices I’d only dreamed of. It [...]

My freeways, how I love thee …
Posted in Personal, Philosophy and Theology, Travel on 26 June 2009 | 1 Comment »
All right, so here’s a confession. Anytime I use three or more freeways to get to a destination, I get a little high. I love the southern California freeway system (and not just because my dad is a traffic engineer and I grew up taking scenic Sunday drives to see new carpool to [...]

Several years ago, the day after returning from a semester studying abroad in Oxford, I found myself driving across Orange County to drop my younger sister off at a party. I say, ‘found myself,’ because it was a surreal experience. I drove through at least five cities on two major freeways and a [...]

As those in my daily life already know, my ‘little’ white car (that I’ve driven since high school) finally died during the last couple weeks of the school year. I’ve been unbelievably blessed to have it last through my two year long 350 mile weekly commute. But, I will admit that I was [...]

Soccer, and more specifically, the EuroCup 2008, is quickly and fiercely wooing me. It’s hard to resist ninety minute games, constant motion (that, more often than not, reseambles dancing, not a field spot), precision, national competition and Very Attractive Men.
I watched the Croatia/Turkey game with the Shephersons this afternoon. We had our own Turkish cheering [...]

While I was in Seattle, my friend, Daniel, and I had talked about skydiving, but for financial reasons (and perhaps some hestitation on my part), we didn’t follow through. So! when he came to LA to visit this weekend and I asked, “What do you want to do?” I should have anticipated, “Skydiving!” as an [...]
