Next time you’re walking down Disneyland’s Main Street, instead of focusing on the Castle in front of you or the art, t-shirts and gifts that fill shops, look up at the names on the second and third story windows. There is a real person behind each one. A real Disney legend. Having a Main […]
Best Shot Monday: Anaheim Ducks
The theme for Tracey Clark’s Best Shot Monday this week is “I **heart** These Faces” and I easily chose this one of Anaheim Ducks players, Teemu Selanne, Jason Blake, Saku Koivu and a boy who is receiving treatment for cancer at CHOC Hospital. I took the photo last night while I was doing a […]
Lunch with a friend
It’s one of those funny ironies in life that one of the most important aspects of our lives, one of the biggest blessings, one of the things you treasure the most–friendships–usually spring from seemly insignificant experiences, inane common interests or sometimes just dumb luck. The first friend I ever made online, right after I started […]
Coming into Bloom
Every week the insanely talented photographer and writer Tracey Clark hosts “Best Shot Monday.” She picks a theme and we post a photo on that theme. I edited this photo last night after snapping a shot of some cherry blossoms peppered with raindrops in Brea. Then I waited for Tracey to pick her theme this […]
‘Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales’

I like to stalk the “loser” section because sometimes I […]
“Mini-Weapons of Mass Destruction” at must for boys

I’m sorta sad to hear J.D. Salinger died today
“I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I’m going, I’m liable to say I’m going to the opera. It’s terrible.” Holden Caulfield Twenty five years after reading this […]

What’s your Starbucks’ name?
Peet’s Coffee is not only has my favorite coffee, it’s the closest coffee place to my house. Just a quick walk and I can be sipping my au lait within five minutes of leaving my front door. But I’m back on Starbucks. The reason is as simple as it is pathetic: I can’t get […]
