In Zuma Beach

Busy day.

First up, I had a Mandatory Settlement Conference in Chatsworth this morning on an insurance claim in my insurance adjusting job. Fortunately, we settled with the claimant so the expense of a trial has been avoided.

Next, I am working my second job in Zuma Beach (Malibu) covering for someone. I can't complain about the scenery. I'll be there the next several nights (except Saturday, which is my birthday).

What's up with the pink(!) jeans or sweat shirts Malibu high school boys are wearing?

Luckily, there's a couple of movie stars where I'm at and we'll occasionally talk movies.

Labor Day Already?!

Above, one year ago I took this photo of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.



Here we are in September and Labor Day weekend is upon us. Where the hell did the year go? It seems like only yesterday that I was gearing up for the "Scene To Seen" presentation at Monsterpalooza in April.



"Time flies when you're having fun" is the old saying.







Things have been a bit busy this past week. My roomie came down with a major case of psoriasis (I am not sure of the spelling and spell check didn't object) and had to be hospitalized yesterday as her legs were giving her great pain, including swollen ankles. It is a condition that is inherited (or genetic). It doesn't look like fun (see above photo). I guess I have to resort to bachelor living again for a day or two.



The air conditioner at home still hasn't been fixed. Fortunately, it has cooled down as of late, which makes things bearable.



Before we know it, it'll be Christmas time.
