With all of the wedding planning throughout the past few weeks, we may have neglected some domestic upkeep, including the car. Now that we are getting back on track, we drove to a much needed car wash...
Drive Through Car Wash

Hollywood Hills
Today's photograph of Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills (and the 101) is brought to you by Mrs. Ramdolfi. It was actually a last minute occurrence. We suddenly realized that we were driving through a fantastic vantage point, and simply had to stop the car to take a picture — it's ok, there weren't any cars behind us anyway...
Random Ralphs Run
Finally back at home, the wife wanted a watermelon, for which I summoned my best Princess Bride impersonation and replied: "As you wish!" We jumped in the car and were on our way to our local Ralphs for a quick grocery run...
Blue Bottle Coffee
It was a Monday morning and I woke up slightly disoriented, my body mildly aching, and in desperate need of water — for once, not the result of libations. My wife and I were exhausted from our wedding day just hours ago. We checked out of the hotel, and I beckoned my first cup of coffee as a married man...
At Last, The Wedding Vows
If you're reading this, I have just spoken the following vows to my wife...
Getting Married, This Week
At last, the wedding is days away. After 11 years since I met her, 3 years since I started pursuing her, 2 years since I asked her to be my girlfriend, and 1 year since the engagement, it's time. Finally, I get to become one with my best friend under the eyes of God. To say that I am blessed, would be the understatement on the century. I am not trying to boast, but rather share the joy of this moment — and perhaps inspire you to believe in love...
The Bachelor Party: Johnny Rockets
On our way toward the last uber of the night, we stumbled upon a Johnny Rockets that would become the last stop of the night — the final chapter of our bachelor party saga. Why? Because, what better way to wrap up an epic night of libations, libations, sustenance, and libations, than with, libations!? More innocent libations this time: Milkshakes!...
The Bachelor Party: Dave & Buster’s
Hot dogs consumed, we were back to — you guessed it — libations! Indeed, the first place we headed to was the bar, and yet, we all retained our mental faculties. Perhaps it was all of the pizza we ate during the preface to our night, perhaps it was Pink's, but we all held our liquor down through the fourth stop...
The Bachelor Party: Pink’s Hot Dogs
As the night descended upon us, and several libations in from both Melrose Umbrella Co. and Antonio’s Restaurant, the gents and I headed for a signature LA bite just around the corner: Pink's Hot Dogs! "A Hollywood legend since 1939" — according to their slogan — Pink's has been a favorite of mine since my UCLA days...
The Bachelor Party: Antonio’s Restaurant
The first thing we noticed upon entering Antonio's was an elderly man sitting in the corner of the narrow reception area, who welcomed us before a server directed us to our booth. Slightly confused by our introduction to the restaurant, it took us a minute to realize that that must have been Antonio! We then received our menus and saw the image of the same man who welcomed us — decades younger. It was inspiring!...
