#90 Eat at Bestia.

The hard to get reservation was worth the wait. If Vegas had odds on me being over or under 180lbs by Halloween, I’d bet the over.

Only two Illinois based Portillo’s hot dog joints are in California, but Riverside is home to one of them. Brit had an Italian Beef and a bowl of chili before returning to her second practice of the day in triple digit heat.

#14: Annual Fashion Show. We chose to have it at the Atlanta Apparel Show this year. We’ll try to be more creative next year.

The elusive Sonia. I begged her to walk the runway so we could get some pictures for social media. This is all she gave me before disappearing into the back.

It’s hot and humid and I think I may have caught Ebola.

#100 in Progress: Find a regular barber.

Not sure if I’d go back. I just can’t find the experience I’m looking for. I’m starting to think there’s an opportunity to fill a niche.

At least we can choose the office when working on a Sunday.

#57 in Progress: See 10 Movies in the Theater.

I don’t think it is the American classic it is being hailed as by most critics, but Boyhood was a good movie despite lacking a plot.

Happy Birthday, Jim!

It’s 100 degrees and our warehouse doesn’t have air conditioning. We officially own a sweatshop.

Enjoyed dinner at the new oyster bar that just opened in our old neighborhood. I miss Sherman Oaks.

Welcome to West England. 70,000 strong at the Rose Bowl to watch the LA Galaxy take on Manchester United. 80% of the crowd was cheering for the England club.

Happy Birthday, Ernest.
