My Click

I'm feeling less geeky this week and more playful, so it's natural that I'd select Found Magazine. Folks from all over submit their latest interesting and most bizarre finds. We've all done it at least once; found that phone number with no name, a grocery list, photos of captured moments forgotten and lost.

Loved this vanity plate, especially since I watch Forensic Files, American Justice, Forensic Detective, etc.

Jr.s BBQ, Culver City, CA


We heard about this BBQ joint on the Food Network and decided to check it out. The spare ribs were smoked to perfection and delicious. The mac n cheese was delightful and the diners friendly. The walls were covered with photos of local L.A. newscasters, talk radio host Larry Elder, Kobe Bryant, etc. The place was so packed, we had to sit at the counter. I haven't sat at a counter in eons!

The last time I did, I was a child. My dad loved to haunt hole in the wall restaurants. They weren't much to look at, but they sure did serve tasty food! We'd always sit at the counter and he'd always tell the waitress, "This is my daughter. We're eating out today and spending the day together." Dad passed in 1990 and it's funny how one simple post about a BBQ joint has led me to reminisce! It's all good, though.

Finally, a local business where I can conveniently drop off my unwanted items.

Simplification & consolidation

In my quest to simplify my life in my physical space, I've also decided to do so in virtual space (or should I use the overused term cyberspace?) I'm consolidating the photoblog I started before Blogger offered a photo option. Basically, it's been relegated to being used for Baker's Dozen entries only. I long ago stopped participating in photo challenges because my photo blog takes up what extra time I have.

I'm feeling very good about the changes and am enjoying the streamlining. Sometimes what seems so challenging really isn't, only we don't realize it until after. Our first auction is underway via iSold it and we have five more items lined up and ready. Meanwhile, the garage is looking great and I feel like a huge weight's been lifted. I find myself applyiing the old rule: If I haven't used/missed it in a year, get rid of it!

My goal for the summer season is to simplify. I have five items total that I want to move on to someone else and I will feel the summer's been a success, provided I stick to my plan! The next challenge will be books. I need to read several in order to pass them on. I know there's a website that issues a tracking label that I can place in the book and leave the book at a public space for anyone to find. Does anyone know the URL for the site?
