Last night was one for the books for your No. London Arse. The lads clinched the top stop in their Champions League Group B via a 6-nil larruping of Lens at The Emirates. Kai Havertz, much maligned during the first three months of his big-money move to the Gunners from Chelsea, has caught fire, and he opened the scoring here. #COYG Continue reading →

Quiet head, eyes still focused on point of contact, low center of mass…

You can tell it’s the cold season here, owing to the addition of the long socks and upper-body coverage…hit it! Continue reading →

Sweeping…

Here it is, a beautiful blue-sky day above your East (San Fernando) Valley from the vantage point of the Universal City Overlook along Mulholland Drive. It was about 65°F, with a stringent 25 percent relative humidity and a visibility rating of 28 mi., when this panorama was stitched together just after high noon in the crisp & picturesque Golden West. So, you can start to understand why, after checking-in to the proverbial Hotel (Southern) California, you can never leave — not voluntarily, anyway, unless you are one of those Attila the Hun edgelords simply making some kind of performative political/culture-war statement. Go right ahead and depart; enjoy the unbearable heat, freezing cold & rusty power grids in Tejas (Tejas!) or the swampy humidity, bugs & rampant social diseases breeding like crazy in Florida.

…and lonely…

Yea, verily, the Cynthia Publishing Co. Executive Swimming Pool has been closed for the post-summer months for some weeks now, but we are also now starting to feel like ‘winter’s tuning-up’. Nighttime lows dipping into the mid-40s tonight; don’t you pity us out here in La-La Land? No, of course not! Nor should you. But we do miss swimming, which keeps the core strong & balanced and the shoulders broad & brawny! Continue reading →

Started…

…and going!

Hey! How ya’ doin’ over there? Well, that’s good! Here in Malibu, Calif., at high noon today, it was sunny and 76°F, with Santa Ana winds driving the relative humidity to a scratchy 23 percent; the barometric pressure was 30.24 inHg and falling, with visibility at a perfectly clear 33 miles — indeed, Catalina was easily visible from the beach; with the calm Pacific Ocean a true blue. From the sunny & shining Golden West, good afternoon! Good afternoon this time!
