The season was heating up, with the Angels chasing the Rangers for the division. Minnesota Twins came to visit which resulted in the Angels catching, due to Mark Trumbo’s efforts offensively. The game ended with Trumbo hitting a three run homerun, but the Angels didn’t need that and won 7-1. I didn’t really think I [...]

Last August I planned a trip with Melody and Sarah to backpack to the top of the San Gorgonio Mountain – the highest peak in Southern California at 11,503 feet. We didn’t really want to rush the roughly 23 mile hike in one day, so we decided to set up camp at Dry Lake prior [...]

I woke up this morning to a slew of sounds, which including helicopters patrolling the airs. I didn’t know what was happening at first until I turned on my TV to see on the news that there was an Occupy LA protest on Figueroa and 4th streets that was blocking traffic. I knew that there [...]

My brother Marvin came to visit with two of his friends this summer and I had to figure out a few places to show these guys. I wanted a short and easy trip to get them hooked, which hasn’t been that hard to do recently. Right when they arrived into LAX, I took them to [...]
