This is hands-down my favorite thing to do at the moment–walk behind my kids as they head to the park. The weather has been beautiful, and early evening is when all the wild parrots come out and quarrel with each other in the tall trees. They really get worked up. Ben has just mastered his […]
Finding a new home for my Uncle Bob
This is my Uncle Bob and me. He is 86-years-old and he is moving in to his new retirement home today in Laguna Woods! My brothers and I have spent the last week getting his new pad ready and I think hope he is going to love it. Because I have been so busy, I […]
The Black Apple delivers
I love getting things from Etsy! The artists always put their special touches in the packages–handwriting notes of thanks or including bonus postcards! I ordered the picture of what I imagine my capricious muse would look like from The Black Apple’s Etsy Shop. I am having it framed and hanging it next to my desk.
Ways to amuse yourself in Orange County
I don’t care for Starbucks, I much prefer “The Bean.” I can be fiercely loyal to ultimately pointless things–like coffee, shampoo or …. When circumstances such as location or parking make Starbucks more convenient (which is almost all the time), this is how I make the trip worth it … When I order, I act […]
Friday fives: Things I love that are English
Things I love that are English, the list… 1) Morrissey, The one and only…still 2) Boden Catalog never disappoints. It has the most charming clothes–see them here. 3) The Bronte sister.

Just out for a day at the dog park.
Lovin’ both of you is breakin’ all the rules…Craig Ferguson and Ira Glass on Letterman tonight
You should be well aware that I equally love Ira Glass of “This American Life” and Craig Ferguson from “The Late, Late Show.” Both are on Letterman (who is no slouch himself) tonight. (must stay awake…must stay awake…) I wrote about Ira when he was coming to speak at The Barclay– Ira Glass is coming […]

You know you were at teenager in Orange County in the 80’s if…
Today in The Orange County Register I wrote “You know you were a teenager in Orange County in the 80’s if…” But, even if you aren’t from Orange County, you might still like this trip through a time when synthesizers ruled the school and your room was plastered with Duran Duran posters. To read the […]
