I had to drive to Los Angeles for a meeting last week. Though I live in Orange County, I’ve spent very little time in LA. I recognize some of the street names that line the 5 Freeway, but only from hearing them on traffic reports or because they are famous–like Hollywood Blvd. When my meeting […]

I have already professed my devotion to “Pop Waffle,” the only celebrity news I can muster-up the interest to watch–aside from The Soup (watch “iPhone 3G”) , of course. But when the latest episode showed up in my subscriber line on YouTube, I knew I had to parade it in front of you once more. […]

On Friday night Larry and I went with friends to dinner at The White House and then off to bowl at “300 Anaheim” (I know, tragic name) in the Garden Walk. I bowled a few times as a teenager, but was firmly a roller skating girl and had little time for a “sport” with no […]

My family and I moved over this last month to a new house. For reasons only known by the old owners, there was no phone service at the house. (…I see you nodding off…I am going somewhere with this story–promise.) After arranging for AT &T to come by and fix the problem, I let the […]
