The Van Nuys Airport Public Observation Area

By Ed - Last updated: Saturday, September 6, 2008

Today I took the bicycle on a short ride to the Van Nuys Public Observation area. You can see it on MapMyRide.com.  The airport has this little known spot where you can watch the runway (at the north end.) It was recommended in another blog, belonging to the parent of a young flight student. If [...]

The continuing saga…

By Ed - Last updated: Saturday, September 6, 2008

Well, here we are, still living in the trailer in Van Nuys — see photo in previous post.  We’ve been here for about three months now.  My gig in West Hollywood is enjoyable, the trailer site is comfy, there are lots of things to see and do in the southland. I’d like to do some [...]

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

Well, as I wrote before, I was going to look for consulting work. They say to be careful what you wish for, as you might get it. I found work, all right, but not consulting work. I found a job. I’m not sure who “they” are, but “they” also say that 90% of the jobs [...]

Finished a Needlework Project

By Ed - Last updated: Friday, March 14, 2008

Some of you may know that I like to Cross-Stitch. In fact, I just finished Shabbos-Lady, and I’m including a photo of it, before blocking and mounting, here. I went into the needlework store, and the lady showed me some needlepoint stitches, and I decided to give it a try. Since I wanted to learn [...]

Movin’ In

By going through our worldly goods, we find things. Among the things that didn’t go to the dump were these needlepoint windows that were made by my grandmother Natalie (Nana) Greenberg, way back when. We had these in the house for the past 20 years, in a dark corner of the living room. I’m glad [...]

Well, that’s it. We turned in the keys today. We are now officially homeless (?) The dump got over 6,000 pounds (three TONS) ofjunk. Hats off to Cheap Hauling, for hauling the stuff away. We’ll be here in Santa Clara Elks for the weekend, then back to Morgan Hill TTN for a few weeks.

Down to the Wire

Just about everything is out of the apartment. Freecyclers have come and taken much furniture, many appliances, and some things too nice to throw away but not fitting into our life or lifestyle. It’s nice to know that things will be used.The garbologists came on Monday and took away two tons of stuff. They will [...]

Tonight for dinner, I wanted to do something different. I did breaded and fried Tilapia, and made a sweet noodle kugel. Extreme yum all around.

Moron (more-on) Going Full Time

By Ed - Last updated: Saturday, February 9, 2008

One or the other of the titles of this page is correct. I hope it’s the one in parentheses.   We’ve been parked here at the Santa Clara Elks Lodge for two weeks, and I’ve been back and forth to the apartment almost daily. So far, I’ve concentrated on books, since they were sitting on [...]

Getting rid of books

By Ed - Last updated: Thursday, February 7, 2008

As you know, Roseann and I took a big step to move out of our home and into our RV Trailler. We are going full time traveling. We’re very excited. Today, freecyclers came and took away furniture, appliances and electronic gear. I found good homes for lots of stuff. I experienced noseparation anxiety. I’ve also [...]
