Running into TV Doctors at Runyon Canyon

We having been meeting up with some friends at their Hollywood Hills home to walk our dogs in Runyon Canyon which is a park located off Mulholland Drive. We will usually go early in the morning for a few hour hike and end up at their own house which is in the Hollywood Hills and have breakfast. Their neighbor can you believe it is Ryan Seacreast. I am waiting to run into him and his dogs someday. hehe The view from the park is really beautiful. YOu can see the entire city from the trails we hike. Not only is it fun for humans but for our furry pets. We usually let Mo off leash so he is able to wander free. It's good for his socializing. Yesterday one of my co-workers came with us with her dog, Winston. Mo and Winston had a ton of fun running around chasing each other. Because the park is so close to the Hollywood Hills another bonus of the park besides the exercise is that we often see celebrities walking their dogs. Yesterday when we walked we saw and talked to Kevin McKidd who plays Dr. Owen Hunt on Grey's Anatomy. My friend has a Springer Spaniel and he was walking three English Spring Spaniels with his girlfriend. We stopped and talked to them and he seemed very nice. Not to mention, I enjoyed the English accent. We also ran into another TV star who plays a doctor (I think on Private Practice or another hospital drama) on TV but for the life of me I can't remember her name. I see her in movies and TV all the time too. After our morning walk we were all very tired and took a nice nap.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
