Storm Warning

Posted on August 17, 2023August 18, 2023 by admin

As a kid growing up in hurricane country, I was obsessed with the ne’er do wells on the news weaving in front of their trailer park with a beer, their panties blown over their face, hollering, “It’s just a little weather, I ain’t a’gwyin’ nowhere!” There weren’t many hurricanes at all back then, but those…

Never Give Up

Posted on July 17, 2023July 17, 2023 by admin

Anyone who has lived in LA longer than five minutes already knows the coolest thing you can do is The Hollywood Bowl. Within a minute of leaving the nuttiness of downtown Hollywood, you’re suddenly transported into an idyllic utopia carved into the side of a mountain with trees, nature smells, and great acoustics. You can…

The Happiest – And Gayest – Place

Posted on June 23, 2023 by admin

Law, but a certain humorless Sunshine State governor would be wetting himself over all the Pride stuff here today at Disneyland. Look, guv’nah! Thar’s coffee cups! Swimwear! And even thermoses! And how did I just find out he got married at The Magic Kingdom? I have to get out more.

Eat Your Veggies

Posted on March 26, 2023March 26, 2023 by admin

The nutty California weather continues as we braved 900 mile-an-hour winds for the annual Vegan Street Fair. Although I’ve never lived on the militant side of the vegan pie, I’m convinced there would definitely be world peace if vegans ruled things. Amongst the thousands in attendance today, I’d never heard so many, “So sorrys, you…

Rain O’er Me

Posted on January 15, 2023January 15, 2023 by admin

We expected our favorite Sunday night walk to be as deserted as a zombie apocalypse since, as I’d previously shared, Southern Californians had rather crawl through broken glass than get out in the rain. But I guess we’ve had so much lately the dams, both literally and figuratively, finally broke. Everywhere we looked the slow-moving…

Electric Music, Solid Walls of Sound

Posted on November 21, 2022November 21, 2022 by admin

The partner was out of town on business and I was planning to lay low after getting my covey booster.  “Hey, you can watch the Elton John Final U.S. Concert at Dodger Stadium tonight on Disney+.” “What?” I asked the guy who’s worked at Disney for years. “How long you been sitting on that one?”…

Nut Job

Posted on November 12, 2022November 13, 2022 by admin

The stepmother walks into the sunroom with the best poker face I’ve ever seen:  Here, I brought you something. She plops a bag about the size and warmth of a newborn baby in my arms.  No idea. Mind you, my second morning home visiting the folks had been spent sucking the blood off my hands…

Warping Young Minds

Posted on September 22, 2022September 23, 2022 by admin

All this talk of book banning made me think it was time to repost a piece from a few years back… Going to the library was something offered as a reward when I was growing up. The prospect would be dangled in front of my sister and me like a carrot: behave like respectable adults…

30 Years??

Posted on July 29, 2022July 29, 2022 by admin

Someone just sent me this – Universal Studios posted this clip on their site – Death Becomes Her premiered thirty years ago this weekend. I read somewhere a couple of years ago that the movie is among ten or so others like Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias that continue to play in a loop…

Harmony & Understanding

Posted on April 23, 2022April 24, 2022 by admin

“I’m very happy.  You’ve been flossing, but what else is new?  You were always a good flosser.” I’d dreaded the wrath of my dentist as I’d missed the last 6 month check-up, something I never do.  I can just make out The Age of Aquarius piped in over the din of dental drills and I…
