been a long time.. to rock and roll.

well a lot has happened in the past few months since I've written.

I'm working. Thank goodness. I needed to so something and project that I think is interesting. It's short term (till next month), but as the saying goes, "it's a check." and experience.

The house is coming along. We had a great house party last weekend and no cops, no home owners association complaining.

we're enjoying the neighborhood. It's incredible. Janice and I bought bikes and we're riding them into Brand Blvd and hitting up places for dinner. it's great.

Last wednesday Oscar got locked in a neighbors yard. At 10 pm I'm looking for him and hear a scream from across the street. He somehow got into the yard and couldn't get out and was making a racket. The owner is an older woman, who I haven't met. The only time I see her is when she's out with her walker getting into a car.

So at 10 pm I don't know what to do. Fortunately her neighbor saw us and came out to help. She had me climbing the fence in her yard to get in and get oscar. I had visions of scaring the be-jesus out of this old woman and giving her a heart attack, or having her call the cops on me as an intruder.

well now it's friday. I'm going to kick back and relax.
