I enjoy music. Frequently the turntable is spinning tunes in my head. What just cracks me up is the ability to recall lyrics from songs that are over 50 years old. I’m not just “stuck in the middle with you” but I think I could just keep telling a story and filling it with more…
What Does It Mean To Be A Guide Dog?
I have had a remarkable experience this past year as I watch my friend Kathi raise a puppy for Guide Dogs of America (GDA). If you are anything like me, you may not have much knowledge or experience regarding how a puppy goes from a squirmy bundle of paws and jaws to a well-trained, confident…
Hockey at Dodger Stadium
How lucky can I be? I had the opportunity to enjoy outdoor professional hockey at Dodger Stadium. I’ve been a Dodger season ticket holder with 3 other families since 1986, but that is story for another day. I hope my pictures tell you the story of what the night was like in the City of…
I Have a Dream
Those words resonate for all of us. Four simple words with an enormous message and impact in our lives then and today. As I think about Dr. King and his impact on me and my life, I am reminded of many great men that I respect and admire. I don’t always link Dr. King in…
The Food I Didn’t Cook
In keeping with the food theme this week, I thought I’d share a wonderful restaurant experience I had with my “foodie” friends. I’m always excited when I get to take a food adventure with them. This is the New Bay Seafood Restaurant in Alhambra, California. I had never tasted Deep Fried Lobster…it’s as good as…
The Food I Ate
Funny how putting something in writing holds you accountable for your actions. I suppose that’s why diet journals are successful. When we last visited I had marveled at 3 meals I made last year. That is so pathetic. It’s not to say that I only cooked 3 times in an entire year, but truly, nothing…
The Food I’ve Cooked
Dear Diary, I have a confession to make. Since it’s a diary, I just know it will stay private!! I have a key somewhere, probably in that attic of confusion. I don’t cook. That’s it. I could cook, but something keeps getting in the way. I have some inklings as to why this keeps happening….
Los Angeles Sights
Like many cities, we all have our favorite “go to” places to eat. They may not be healthy but they sure do deliver when it comes to taste and long time memories. Such is the case with Johnnie’s Pastrami. I wish you could smell this. For those of you that currently live near by…
I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane
2014 is going to be an adventure…and it starts this spring. Guess where this is located? Here are some clues…It’s the Norfolk Hotel. No, not Virginia, not Nebraska, and not Arkansas. No, not a quaint city in France. I will be having lunch here one day. Nope, not the Florida Everglades. I may…
