Larry and I were over at the Costume Castle in Irvine letting the kids run wild through the severed heads and clown shoes when we caught this little dialogue between a young customer and the gal behind the counter–who goes by the name “The Queen of Halloween” because of her immense knowledge of costume-ish things.

I’m afraid of wimps and you should be, too
The other day I was talking to my friend who has her kids in public school in Irvine and she mentioned her kids aren’t allowed to run on the pavement at recess. Since my kids go to private school, this was a new concept to me. So, I asked around. Seems this is standard practice […]

On a trip down to San Juan Capistrano with my son a few weekends ago, we came upon this little place down a gravel road called The Ramos House Cafe. Weren’t we lucky? The gravel road turned out to be The Los Rios Historical District and the cafe was a true find. The decor of […]

You no longer have to sit through someone’s long, detailed description of their kitchen remodel. You now have a solid excuse to cancel your gym membership.
