Was visiting for a technical conference in Redondo Beach. Wasn't beach weather, so I didn't get to enjoy that aspect, but I loved being able to walk everywhere: to the conference hotel, to dinner, and to the Massage Envy location that was several blocks north.

Todd is a great host, and you can tell he really has the hospitality routine down. I love old dogs - so sweet and low-maintenance. They stuck to themselves, but on the last night of my stay, seemed to finally be warming up to me.

I should have asked Todd more about his interesting stories like the Secret Service brother. Just didn't have enough time around the house to chat with him.

Todd and his house are great, and I'll surely be staying with him again if I ever need to get out that way again!
