I am almost done with all my unpacking. Well, that is, the actual taking items out of the box. There are still months ahead of fixing up the house, respositioning items and finding odd things that are mismatched. Just such a fact alone would seem to indicate that […]
“Wait! Waiiiit!!!” “Stop. Please!. Hey! Hey! Hey!” The past week, I have woken up to sounds that have left me wondering for a split second, as to where I am at. My new neigborhood, away from downtown Los Angeles has a whole new set of […]
