Saturday, April 6th, 2013A Little Bit of Everything in L.A.
Thursday, April 4th, 2013
There are certain days in my life where I feel like I am unabashedly raking in every drop of fun that can satiate my wide varieties of interests. Monday, January 14, 2013, just so happened to be one of those days. I had already spent a very enjoyable weekend at the Hollywood Show meeting scads of celebrities, visited Disneyland twice, attended the memorial service of Our Ganger Peggy Ahern, eaten one of the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, visited the Grammy Museum, and hung out on Hollywood Boulevard.

Halloween Comes to November
Thursday, December 6th, 2012
Because of the potential for horrid weather coming our way from Hurricane Sandy on the scheduled Trick or Treat date of Tuesday, October 30, 2012, it was postponed until Saturday, November 3 – effectively moving Halloween – or at least everything I associate with it – to November. In addition, as you’ll read, I attended a reunion of the film franchise Halloween, also oddly placed into November. In any case, it was a nice way to spend the weeks that fell between the real Halloween and the next of the ‘Big Three’ holidays, Thanksgiving. Read the rest of this entry »
