Pitbull Attack In Morningside Circle

I currently work part-time as a musician, playing in various churches around Los Angeles. On Sunday, I played piano for the gospel choir at St. Eugene’s church in Morningside Circle – a community in Los Angeles right at the border of Inglewood, by Van Ness and 96th Street.

Everything went well on Sunday after the […]

15 Years Ago Today: My Article In The L.A. Times

When I was an awkward teenager in junior high school, I developed a love for writing and decided that I wanted to be a journalist when I grew up. My dream was to one day be a reporter for the L.A. Times. I even had the prescience back then to believe that “news will come […]

Do The Walk, Do The Walk Of Life: Relay For Life Hollywood

Early Sunday morning, I walked in the annual Relay For Life, a 24-hour fundraising and awareness event benefiting the American Cancer Society. The event’s origins go back some 25 years, when a doctor in Washington state ran around a high school track in honor of his patients and raised $27,000 walking for 24 hours. The […]

Cleaning Up The Library, August Edition

Today being the first Saturday of the month, it’s once again time to tend to the Cahuenga Library Botanical Gardens for our monthly mini-cleanup of our 94-year old LAPL branch‘s grounds!

This being August, I wondered if Summer weather might be a deterrent for people, but apparently so far this season, […]
