This is how it happened: I was working on a story for the Register on The OC Roller Girls, and after attending a couple of practices and going to a few Roller Derby bouts, I started to get smitten with skating. Though not enough to be a roller derby girl, PLEASE …me? I have weak […]

The fall issue of Broughton Quarterly
We were listening to the song “Heat of the Moment” by Asia in the car and my four-year-old son asked me, “Mom, why are they saying ‘We are the Broughtons?’” Uh-oh, little too much “Broughton” branding going on in our house. That said, the new Broughton Quarterly is out and cluttering the coffee tables of […]
Daily Photo: Santa Ana row houses
These row houses are down in a part of Santa Ana I really like, though I don’t know what it’s called. Close to Flora Park, The Bowers, and Harvey’s. I love the fall colors of the buildings. Seattle Daily Photo took this shot of an orange building and called it “Urban Autumn.” When I saw […]
30 Second Sunday: Newport Beach
I’m trying something new today. I like the idea of a series of short, 30 second, video clips from different locations in Orange County. In fact, I like the idea so much I’m starting this “30 Second Sunday” series. It might change from week to week until I get the hang of it. Please let […]

Orange County Wild Fires
(Photo by Jana Mitchell) My house is not in harm’s way. Thanks everyone who has emailed or called me to check if we’re okay–we are! My friend Jana took this picture from the 91 Freeway this morning headed toward Redlands from Orange County. She’s just fine, too. Marcy over at “The Glamorous Life” lives in […]
Orange County Daily Photo: Little yellow car
My Escalade would eat this car for breakfast–like a lemon Pop Tart. They ARE adorable though, aren’t they? I just want to put it in my pocket and take it to home with me. My friend Blythe found this ultimately pointless feature on the safety of these “little cars” on YouTube. Then Blythe sums it […]
Friday Five: My top five ’70s TV crushes
In order of coolness to young girls in the ’70s–number five being my biggest crush. 1.) Baretta. Listen: He loved animals, he carried a gun, and he wore clean, white tanks. What more could a young girl ask for? 2) Stanley “Wojo” Woiciehowicz from Barney Miller. He had that Polish-American immigrant, big, dopey charm I […]
Orange County Daily Photo: Newport Beach in November
Today down in Newport Beach. **sigh** I wish I were on that little sailboat. This is my photo for SkyWatch Friday. If you ever find yourself asking, “What does the sky look like in Auckland today?” You can go to SkyWatch and view the sky from every corner of the world. Today I am listening […]
