Santa Monica Canine Surfer Dude  Before we moved to Carlsbad we used to visit our daughter, who was at USC in LA, several times a year, and a popular hangout was the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Lots of shopping, a variety of restaurants, and some terrific people watching incuding the many street performers made it a fun and entertaining place to visit for an afternoon. The tradition of visiting the 3rd Street Promenade continued after we moved to Carlsbad, and when visiting our daughter in LA in 2007 we spied this Chihuahua all dressed up and ready to hang ten at the nearby beach in Santa Monica. 01/05/2017

Ice Skating In Santa Monica For Some Holiday Fun! Every holiday season, Santa Monica brings a little ice skating to the beach side community and transforms the corner of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue into ICE at Santa Monica, a premier outdoor ice skating rink. The 8,000 square foot rink by the beach offers residents and visitors a little taste of winter without the bite. A great location to celebrate the holidays, ICE at Santa Monica is the perfect place to hang out with friends and family, throw a party in a private event cabana, enjoy a first date or sign up for skate lessons. Join the fun and visit Santa Monica this season to experience ICE.Location1324 5th StreetSanta Monica, CA 90401(corner of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue in Downtown Santa Monica)Hours of OperationICE at Santa Mo... 12/19/2012

Pay It Forward -  At the grocery store checkout Whenever I'm checking out at the grocery store using the card swiper at Pavillions, they usually have another screen that comes out asking for a donation to a well-known charity. I almost always decline because this type of thing seems so impersonal to me.  It just seems like it goes out into cyberspace and I don't really know what happens with the money. Well, for some reason this time I decided to hit the "yes" button and made a small donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. I hope my Cyber Dollars have gone to good use!
