Just came across this new blog, Second Act in Altadena. Altadenahiker just quit his (her?) LA Times job after 20 years, and is in the process of re-creation thru writing, hiking, running, and seeing. There are only a handful of entries to date, but s/he has revealed him/herself as thoughtful and observant. A-blog says check it out.
July 24 update: Altadenahiker has sent us a note, and she thanks us for the shoutout.
