Why? What’s The Goal of Cafe Pasadena? If it can only be one thing let it be our desire to bring the residents & others who spend much of their time in Pasadena closer together. To build connectedness & interconnectedness and therefore, enhance community well-being. We may never reach this goal, but let us assist in getting us all closer. In this regard, an emphasis will be toward giving “Free PR” to locals on The WorldWide Web.
Professionally, I’m a business adviser with CPA/Financial services firms in the Pasadena area of Southern Cal. My work ethic is to do my best for the client–to give them at least what they’re paying for but hoping to deliver more than expected. A dream job would be to be paid to hang out at different restaurants/cafes & meet with different people. However, if you need any financial help just let me know–I may be able to help, or guide you to someone who can.
Personally: friendly, conscientious, understanding, a little unusual, sometimes I can be funny, outgoing, a thinker, personable, thoughtful, positive.
I want the best for my friends.
Anyone who is a friend of food & restaurants is a friend of mine.
My blog will cover mostly macro topics relative to micro concerns. However, one micro subject will be commentary on specific restaurants I’ve eaten at. Some of my postings here, & comments on other blogs, will be intentionally provocative in an attempt to stimulate thought/conversation. Thus, those will not necessarily be my own views but rather an assist to consider all “sides of the coin.”
I like to say, “if you can’t get along with me, well, you can’t get along with anyone.” I consider myself relatively boring in relation to my creative friends, yet “the underwire in the bra of life.” You can give blogger Kelly of WCGB credit for that insightful line!
I hope we can share on this blog in a civil, understanding, manner, understanding the value of each individual. Ok, enuf of me. It sounds kinda bland, ok, I’ve not even scratched the surface of my skin about who I am, but let’s just stop right here for now.
Oh, and I’m a rarity in these parts: an actual Southern Cal native.
PS: I don’t get paid for this. I’m not a professional writer who has time to write & re-write (or is it edit & re-edit), so understand any typos, grammatical errors, etc., are not to be taken personally. So, if you catch yourself thinking, “Did he really say that?!” Well, probably not!! Oh,and I certainly don’t have any editors to edit for me. So, I just gotta get this on the internet to meet my deadline & because I gotta run & eat.
Well well, you have a home! Lovely blog and the fact you’ve put yourself in the, ”a little unusual”, category makes me think I might just stop by from time to time….that is one trait I can relate to.
All the best, have a great day!

ginab continued: Mike, Petrea’s site still does not accept my login. I have queried the Google help group, which did not have helpful answers. I have great confidence in your expertise; if you can, please let me know what little thing I have missed. Thanks.
You commented on Petrea’s blog that you could probably easily sove my problem. Here’s your chance. I created a blog account (ginaburchard.blogspot.com) and a blogger identity (ginab) so that I could post comments on pasadena daily photo. Now what?
I have owned several cannon cameras, and highly recommend them. They always seem to have the most features for the least amount. I never had a problem outside of what I have caused (I am really ruff on stuff) They really seem to take a beating. Any model seems good, check cnet’s comparison chart to find the right one for you. Keep shooting.
Miss H, does that make you the question?? Have an energizing day.
Aha! You may be the answer to a semi prayer, a manifestation, what my goldfish told me yesterday.
I have ideas brewing. Soon, I shall send you an email with the crazy plan.
Petrea, you’re the best. But, I think you still like being an actress better than running your own website.
Hi Mike,
I had no idea you were here! What a gorgeous blog.
Do you know about the San Gabriel Valley bloggers get-together this Saturday, 6/28? email me if you want the information.
My camera’s an Olympus SP350. It’s a low-end digital camera I’ve had for about 2 years. Nothing fancy. Has automatic settings and apparently manual settings too, which I’ll learn about now that I’ve finally printed out the 200-page manual. I’m slowly plowing my way through it. I try to be creative with shooting, but haven’t learned much about the camera itself yet. Onward and upward.
I notice you put me on your blogroll. Thanks very much. I haven’t created a Pasadena Blogs Blogroll yet but I’ve just gotta. I find a new one almost every day.
