Insomniac in L.A.: June 2010
http://insomniasharon.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Insomniac in L.A. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Sighting at the Mall. I went to the local mall to get my watch battery replaced and saw Ted McGinley. Walking out of the Williams and Sonoma. Just last weekend I happened to turn on the t.v. and 'Married With Children' was on. In the episode Jefferson (Ted's character) was mistaken for 'that guy on The Love Boat'. That show aired over 15 years ago. Star Sighting at the Airport. I neglected to add in my last blog entry (Great Wall Marathon) that Tony Hawk. That so...

Insomniac in L.A.: December 2009
http://insomniasharon.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Insomniac in L.A. Monday, December 21, 2009. The intimacy of walking. On this walk I also noticed a lot of condos and houses for lease, but none for sale. Newly built condos are being leased instead of sold. I'm assuming this is because the builders can get much more money (and a higher occupancy) if they rent out the units instead of sell them. I wish more people walked around town but then again this is Los Angeles- a city married to the automobile. Sunday, December 13, 2009. We ran the 'Say No To Drug...

Insomniac in L.A.: January 2010

Insomniac in L.A. Friday, January 08, 2010. Last weekend, right after New Years Day, I got to hike in snow which is a rare treat here in Southern California! The two local options for snow are Big Bear at the ski resort, or to the Palm Springs aerial tram. To the top of Mt. San Jacinto (tram drop off at 8500 ft elevation, mountain top at 10,300 ft elevation). We chose the tram and had a lot of fun! Walking through the snow was a blast too! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Insomniac in L.A.: September 2010
http://insomniasharon.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Insomniac in L.A. Monday, September 20, 2010. Good Bye . Or Not? I accepted a job offer in Seattle a few months ago and when I moved in the middle of July, I thought that it might be time for me to retire this blog. I had said my good-byes to friends and family in Los Angeles, and was reacquainting myself to old friends in Seattle. Quickly settling into my new former city, I was looking for houses to buy, and had even put an offer on a house. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Jeana's ...

Insomniac in L.A.: June 2009

Insomniac in L.A. Thursday, June 25, 2009. When a celebrity dies at your workplace. Earlier this week when Ed McMahon passed away, there was one news truck in front of the UCLA hospital early in the morning. It also made traffic crazy today. Some of the streets around the hospital were closed, and I wouldn't be surprised if ER traffic was directed to another hospital. I left work at 7 pm hoping it had died down a bit- and it had, but traffic was still heavier than a normal workweek evening. Just last wee...

Insomniac in L.A. Thursday, September 17, 2009. Thursday, September 24, 2009 is the scheduled date of the University of California Professors Strike. College professors on strike? If you look at the list, they are calling for a strike on all of the UC campuses- Berkeley, LA, Riverside, Irvine, San Diego, San Francisco, Davis, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, and Merced. I was also told that certain staff will be participating in this strike as well. The list is primarily humanities and liberal arts professors.

Insomniac in L.A.: LA Marathon 2010
http://insomniasharon.blogspot.com/2010/04/la-marathon-2010.html
Insomniac in L.A. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. It has taken me a while to post on the LA Marathon so let's cut to the chase. The Marathon Medal:. The ribbon on the medal is very nice. It is printed on both sides with photos of the 'Icons of LA' that we ran past during the race. Unfortunately, the medal design looked really familiar to me. This is a comparison with the Long Beach Half Marathon 2009 medal:. At mile 20 when I was just ready for it to all be over with, we entered the Veterans Administration....

Insomniac in L.A.: Great Wall Marathon
http://insomniasharon.blogspot.com/2010/06/great-wall-marathon.html
Insomniac in L.A. Thursday, June 10, 2010. A couple of years ago, I was looking at adventure marathons online. I was actually looking for info on the Big Five Marathon. When I came across a link to the Great Wall Marathon. The chance to run on the Great Wall of China? That sounded just plain cool and not as menacing as running on the African Savannah with a bunch of wild lions and hippos. It was a fun and challenging race, and I enjoyed the experience. And not tourist sights in China. Even with all of th...
