Yesterday we had an earthquake of questionable magnitude here in Orange County. I say “questionable” because the number keeps changing. I am just going to go with magnitude- 5.4 because it backs up my actions in the following story of “The Quake of ’08.” (Insert flashy graphic with a flipping montage of pictures of books […]
Dude, I’m from AT&T
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 […]
Sleep Tight: Lullabies
I like to make CD’s as gifts for my family and friends. I usually make a copy of this iMix I made Sleep Tight: Lullabies…(Click here to go to iTunes) and give it with a baby gift to the new parents. This iMIx is packed with songs from Rickie Lee Jones to Death Cab for […]

The ghost in me…she really don’t fade
On Thursday, Larry, Chris, his friend Stacey, Lisa and her husband, Joe, went to see the Psychedelic Furs (Yaz was the headlining band) at the Pacific Amphitheater.

Here is the latest “Alive in Wonderland. ” My editor of Alive in Wonderland at ocregister.com is deserting me has moved over to […]
Broughton Quarterly is out and “wowing” the masses
The new issue of Broughton Quarterly is here. This latest issue features a story about blues legend Buddy Guy. I haven’t ever been a fan of Blues music. But after reading the article and then making this iMix for BQ I have become a true believer–at least in Buddy Guy. Pay particular attention to his […]

I am starting to get excited about the Pschedelic Furs tomorrow night. I am going to see them at the OC Fair with Larry, Chris from Dharma Bum, Lisa Mertins and he husband. The Furs were one of my top five bands in high school. Even though Richard Butler wasn’t one of MY “High School […]
Mom survives first month of summer: Fears linger
Irvine, ca. An Irvine mom said she was thankful to survive the first month of summer but fears the last month might be the one that will lead to widespread tantrums and whining. “It’s not so much the actual fighting that bothers me, it’s the listening to the fighting,” said Suzanne Broughton, who has two […]
Do me a favor, open the door, let ’em in…
Guess who came knockin’ at my door today? Marcy and Vicki surprised me with a visit. (Such a lovely sight to see) They came with gifts and words of encouragement for the new house. This is the kind of things you get from two artists/bloggers…lucky me. (Take a look at the cards on the flowers […]
