The other day we were at a party and LoRee came in and said “Ladies, watch this.” And “this” was this…
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. It was a beautiful night, perfect for sitting outside and taking in some nostalga. When the first song began, Richard Butler came bouncing (seriously, bouncing) on to the […]
There’s a new boss in Wonderland
Nothing frightens a young writer more then a change of editors. Except maybe the comma **shudder at the thought of misplacement** I have survived my first change in editors at the Register. 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 […]

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 […]
Yahoo’s weather report for Irvine: Severe Light Drizzle
This is today’s undoctored (untouched by photoshop) weather report for Irvine on Yahoo! Obviously written by a Californian. “Quick Honey! Get out of the jacuzzi, throw on your UGGs and let’s hightail-it over to Starbucks to hunker down from the coming severe drizzle!”
Okay smarty we had a party
I am loving our new house. We broke it in tonight with a birthday party for my mom. Nothing like having the whole family scattered throughout to get a feel if the place will implode at the chatter of 7 people all trying to talk over Fox News. I made my very first birthday cake. […]
Clever picture of Laura Ingalls holding an iPhone
I’ve had no internet, no home phone, no camera (in the shop for cleaning) and no cable for the last week–it’s been brutal, rustic and charmless. I’ve been like the Laura Ingalls of Irvine, but with an iPhone. My daughter loves the “Little House on the Prairie” books and when I read them I always […]
