Down to the Wire
29 February 2008Just 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 be […]
Morgan Hill, CA
24 January 2008Since leaving Monterey, we’ve been in Morgan Hill. We’re clearing out our apartment, preparatory to going full time in the trailer. So far, I’ve packed and donated eight boxes of books and moved a bunch of stuff to the trailer.
I have two restaurant recommendations to post:
Cafe San Jose, 1583 Meridian Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125. […]
R V having fun yet?
12 January 2008Sorry to have missed a week of travel. I thought I had posted from our previous stop, but I see I did not. I have a few mailing lists that receive postings as we travel, and sometimes I forget what we post where.
The weekend in Santa Barbara was very good, if soggy. We celebrated Shabbos, […]
We are still above water!
5 January 2008On Thursday night, after Encounters, we went back to our trailer at the Westchester Elks Lodge, expecting it to start raining. We were surprised when it didn’t.
Encounters is an interesting experience. It is supposed to feel like you are dining in a flying saucer, floating above LAX. In fact, the food and service were quite […]
On to LA
3 January 2008We drove up to Los Angeles today, and parked our trailer at the Westchester Elks Lodge in Playa del Rey. No hookups, but convenient to where we needed to be.
We drove into the Pico/Robertson area again, and picked up my new Tefillin. I plan a post on what we found inside the old tefillin and […]
This week
2 January 2008Shabbos services at Chabad of Santa Clarita Valley was very nice. We had a nice minyan, good chulent, and good people. Highly recommended.
On Sunday we moved down to Thousand Trails Pio Pico, about 15 miles east of Chula Vista. For New Years Eve, we saw the movie “Enchanted,” which we enjoyed very much. It’s fine […]
Back on the road again
25 December 2007We’re back on the road, and so far, things are holding up mechanically. Readers of this blog will recall the many maintenance headaches we had last summer. In fact, when I stated that I had done some routine maintenance, one of my friends misunderstood, and thought that I had once again been stranded. Not […]
My trip to Phoenix (another Chanukah Posting)
16 December 2007I went to Phoenix, Arizona to participate in a 2008 planning meeting for my company. I flew Southwest from and back to San Jose. In this case, the air travel was blessedly uneventful and comfortable. I think Southwest is getting it right.
Since this was the last two nights of Chanukah, I brought my menorah to […]
12 October 2007
Not a whole lot going on lately. We took down the Sukkah and came home. The trailer is in the shop for routine work. We continue to drag things out to the dumpster while planning our exit from this apartment.
All quiet on the western front.
Booth Dwelling, in theory and practice
28 September 2007Well, we had a wonderful Wedndsday night (first night of Sukkos) dinner in the Sukkah. Like 90% of the Jewish population, we had chicken. The other ten percent had brisket. It is very cozy, with a Sukkah that is 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) on a side. A table in the corner, two chairs at right […]
