De Train, Boss, De Train
12 October 2008Here I sit on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, in business class (cool!), on my way to San Diego. Down in the baggage car is my bicycle. The plan was to take the bus to the Van Nuys Amtrak station, take the Surfliner to San Diego, meet my friend Larry, visit, bicycle about, and take the […]
The continuing saga…
6 September 2008Well, 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
15 June 2008Well, 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 […]
Passover Week
27 April 2008Hi Folks,
Last week, we were in Florida for Passover.
We got into Ft. Lauderdale Airport on Friday night about 10 PM. Flights were uneventful (thank G-d) and my folks picked us up. Delray Beack is about 45 miles north of FLL airport, so we drove back, hit the IHOP for some late night food, and then […]
It’s been a while…
31 March 2008… and some decisions have been made.
Where we’ve been so far
22 March 2008Here is a map of our travels so far. We had been on road for three nights at this point.
On Pins and Needles
22 March 2008After I returned from Shul, we cleaned up, packed up, hooked up the trailer, and got on the road. We were headed to Camping World in Henderson, then intended to head for Pahrump. When I called the SKP park in Pahrump, I was told that they were full-up. Since it was a lark to go […]
Purim in Las Vegas
22 March 2008On Thursday night, we went to Chabad of Southern Nevada for Purim. The Megilla (Scroll of Esther) was read quite well, and there was much noise made at the mention of the name of the hated Haman.
On Friday I went back for the morning davening (prayer) and second reading. At this point, I expected a […]
The second day of the rest of our lives
19 March 2008Today we started out from Wasco, CA Elks, headed for Las Vegas, by way of Barstow. We had called ahead to Barstow to reserve a site, but we got there at 1:00 PM, so we decided to continue on our way. We arrived at Las Vegas Thousand Trails at about 5 PM.
Tomorrow (Thursday) is Purim, […]
The first day of the rest of our lives
18 March 2008We did it. We got all the chores and staging done, and on Tuesday morning, drove south out of San Jose. Domicile is defined as “the place where, when away, you intend to return,” so that is where we will intend to return. We have our mailbox, our storage, and we’ll be back when we […]
