Soap Box Fun

Red Bull came to town yesterday to hold soap box races. The financial district streets were never more fun.

Comedian Paul Rodriguez warmed up the crowd at the starting line.

People were creative with their soap box themes.

These racers weren't really concerned with protective gear.

Two parachutists dropped into the crowd. Awesome.

Scaling the side of a building, the young kids clamored to get a better view. It was kind of a risky move, which made me realize that I'm old because young me would have been right on that ledge with a

Red Bull in each hand.

Manhattan is already an amazing city, but add the perfect 75 degree fall weather with gentle breezes, then it becomes unbelievable. A recent trip stirred-up my old yearnings to leave California for this metropolitan paradise.

I Heart Wednesday

Spending six days with 5-month old Wednesday not only made me instantly popular, but it also turned me into a crazy dog-person. I took a zillion pictures. I will only post 4.

Awake.

Asleep.

Awake.

Asleep.

My Future Neighborhood

I've been d0g-sitting out on the Venice Canals and it's official: I'm absolutely in love with this neighborhood. I do see myself living near the ocean in this cool, laid-back community. Who knows, maybe someday, I can afford one of these beauties...
