I'm getting a Kindle! After weeks of flu and post-flu and now proximity-flu (Mike finally caught the crud), I totally deserve an e-ink gadget, right? Well, according to my records I "deserve" a lot of things I don't and won't have, what with not being equipped to stimulate the ...

Steve and I went to see the Vanity Fair Portraits exhibit a few weeks ago at LACMA .  We loved it!  What history lies in that collection of pictures!  The exhibit closes on March 1, so there's still a bit of time to see it if you're so inclined... Unfortunately, photography...

Saturday night it hit me like the proverbial freight train, except it was one of those freight trains from story problems and it left the Las Vegas station at 8:01 en route to my face at 8:02, and you can do the math on the mph. Here one's inner and outer nerds wish to join forces and present a Goog...

I should never write "to be continued" on a blog post; it implies an unspoken "soon" at the end of the sentence, and that's so not me. I've been avoiding this post a bit, though. Partially because I worry that I'll offend someone by speaking frankly, even with good intentions, and partially because,...

Let me begin by once again thanking everyone who came to see me at the Creative Arts Center gallery last night.  It was my deepest pleasure to share my work with all of you and as I mentioned in an earlier post, my heart feels so very full.  This, my first solo exhibition, has been a lab...

I haven't had unrequited consumer lust for awhile. Sure, we got the little camcorder at Christmas, but I didn't sit around for months before buying, pining and doodling little love poems in the margins of my mind. Maybe it's the economy, but lately I have a few wishlist items that I can't quite just...

Last month when we ate at the Rio, something seemed off. Something small. No, not the time share people - they were still camped by the door with come-ons of "Would you like to see a show?" Hold on. The entire bowling alley across from the buffet has disappeared. I remember when it opened. Billboard...

This testimonial was sent in from one of our natural hoof trimmers in Sedalia, CO.  She and Scooter love their Bares! Scooter and I went to the Parelli Center in Pagosa Springs, CO last September for a Fluidity Riding course.  We're still developing our partnership, so I ...

Forget all the stalled construction on the strip. They've boarded up the windows on where my Johnny Carino's and On the Border were about to be. The Quiznos on Jones is just empty windows. Every "coming soon" Fresh & Easy isn't. And a new Cupcakery down the street? Heh. Don't taunt. But, a few b...

According to the OED, "skanky" means "unattractive, dirty; revolting, disgusting, offensive." But we all know that it implies its noun form even more so: "a person (esp. a woman) regarded as unattractive, sleazy, sexually promiscuous, or immoral." Ho. Ho-bag. Whore. Skank. Which is why last year, an...
