Welcome to Metrolink. Now what? Parking is free, that’s a good thing. Buy a TAP card. Confused, just ask the regulars standing around, everyone was very helpful. The TAP card is your access through the turnstile that allows you to board the train. There it is over there. Maybe you’ll need a bike at your…
I Love LA
How often do you take advantage of the city you live in? A few weeks ago I boarded a double decker bus along with some of my friends to do just that. You may have seen “tourists” riding in buses; cameras blazing, as they snap away at sights that those of us that live in…
Take Me Out To The Ballgame
While football season may be your first love, for me baseball was a very important of my childhood. I played a little softball, not all that great; my brother was an excellent baseball player starting with Little League and all through high school.

I See, I feel, I Hear…Don’t Picture Those Cute Little Monkeys!
I get the question all the time, as I hand an unsuspecting friend or total stranger my business card…What are you going to write about? My business card says it all…Born to Talk. As it turns out, it’s talking in the written form. My short answer to the simple question has to do with what…
Uplifting Upland
My friend Shari and I met her sister and niece for some lunch and shopping in Upland, a city that’s about 35 miles from Westchester. For those of you unfamiliar with the 605 freeway and traffic in general in Los Angeles and vicinity, it took us a little over an hour to get there. In…
