Recently, I went to the Shag show at the Laguna Art Museum. I had a particularly Lagunaish funny thing happen. Shag was showing upstairs and Wayne Thiebaud downstairs. It was like being in a big house with the angst-ridden teenager upstairs in his room blasting Jimi Hendrix on his Hi-Fi, while downstairs the Dad lounged […]

On New Year’s Day My Mom, Meghan, Emily and I have a tradition. While the guys watch football, we go to Fashion Island in Newport Beach and fill the first day of the year with makeup, shopping, lunch and chocolate. First we show up at Bloomingdales, stripped of all makeup, to get professionally “dolled-up” by […]

to our traditional shopping day at Fashion Island but wanted to share some pictures of New Year’s Eve. My friend Robin and her family came to visit from Portland. I will post more on her later–many, many good stories revolve around Robin. Just a hint, they will include stories of travels to foreign lands, kissing […]

New Years is all about the lists. I love a good list. Most overused phrases/words of the year: credit crunch, actually and amazing. Don’t ever use this word in 2008: Hottie (especially if you are a man over 40 years old.) Most under used phrase of the year: Excuse me. Phrase I am going to […]

It just couldn’t touch the original film made in 1939 with Merle Oberon as Catherine, Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff and, David Niven as Edgar Linton. Whenever I get the notion to re-read the book, I always cast them in […]

This is my stocking from Christmas morning. I think my favorite thing is the plushie bunny Larry bought for me on Etsy from Bellasophia. I love the idea of Larry searching Etsy for a handmade bunny. He said he really had to poke around the site to find just the right one (…deep sigh of […]

Happy Day-After Christmas. Some people have been asking me to post some suggestions for “Thank You” cards. My friends at Rock Scissors Paper were nice enough to put theirs on sale this morning. Also from Kite Notes these personalized “Thank You” cards. I like the unique cards from Paper Relics.

We are having Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinner at our house this year. It sounds like a tremendous amount of work, but we all share the cooking, so it isn’t really too much. We go to Christmas Eve service, then come to our house for chili and skillet cornbread. I am honestly not a very […]

This is Larry’s favorite Christmas song: David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing “Little Drummer Boy”

I found this in the New York Times’ Humor Section. I am sure I don’t know what they are talking about. I mean, just yesterday, while I was going to order my ham for Christmas at Pacific Ranch, which has the best wine selection in Orange County, ask for Phil, he really knows what he […]
