Rodney has retired

 This past Saturday we said goodbye to our faithful car. Rodney was my first new car and did me well these past thirteen years. If the mister and I were a two car household, we would have kept him. Alas, we weren't certain Rodney would get us around the country again in his rickety old age. Farewells were said, weepiness ensued and new wheels were brought into our little family. Sigh. Soon we hope to hit the road again. Not for an enormous trip just yet but plenty of wee ones throughout the year. we a-go-gos miss that open road!

i think we did things in september...

we did, but we didn't really go-go anywhere...

 except the apple farm 

and 

 our new apartment.

Los Angeles still has...

some purdy nifty eye candy. Sometimes I miss that gritty city (specifically for the grit but mostly for our friends). Today, tomorrow or this weekend, maybe you can grab yourself a camera of sorts and walk around yer fair city. We would love to see what you see.

follow your piers...

It's summer here in a-go-go-land and we have been busy working  and unpacking (new digs!) with visits to the ocean in between. Someday, this space will have more posts, we promise.

Why I ave been so busy

I have been so silly busy with a new job and a new place to live and this and that. The result has been no posts for months. For anyone who is still wondering and waiting for more here is a link to the bolg for my new place of employment, iFixit, and my first post there. I hope it will be the first of many... and I hope I can talk them into letting me post some less technical things.

Until we get our mess in order the posts here will continue to be rather thin, but we'll be back at it soon... I hope.

a year ago today: june 19

was spent in NYC with the ever fabulous ms. j. there was subway riding, mermaid gawking, ice cream eatin' and a great walkabout.

a year ago today: june 17

mister a-go-go and i found ourselves lunching in Philadelphia. we picked a cheesecake place that was highly recommended by the road food duo and we're sorry to say it was pretty un-inspiring. driving in Philly was also a bit chaotic but the sites were nifty and the industrial peeks made the camera happy.

we crossed over into Maryland at some point just for fun and then we crossed the Delaware where i of course imagined that famous bit of American history.

the day ended with an overnight in New Jersey. next stop a lovely weekend with a lovely friend and an excursion into NYC for the infamous mermaid parade!
