Redundant But Cool

September 4th, 2010 · No Comments · Conejo Valley, Westlake Village

Hey, Let’s Have the Kids Do a Run This Afternoon!

September 3rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Conejo Valley, Education, Oak Park

As I left my home this afternoon at 2 PM, I noticed a 20-person or so, bunch of teenage boys, in shorts, running past my house.  They were followed by other groups of boys, mostly running, but some walking, and they all looked hot to me. I assumed they were students at Oak Park High School, [...]

Zuma Westward Beach Trilogy, Part II

I watched Pat Boone last night on television, in one of those 1/2 hour presentations for Time-Life CD’s, where he hosted musical selections from the late 1950′s and early 1960′s.  One of my favorite songs of his from way-back-when, was “Love Letters in the Sand.” I thought of that as I walked on the wet [...]
