International Investments Are All Greek To Me
When I retired, I had a certain Czechlist. I had to figure out how to manage my finances, my investments, and then have a whole lot of luck. But international investing and retirement advice? That’s all Greek to me.

Having Fun on Tax Day!
Let’s face it. Doing your taxes is a drag. But who says you can’t have a little fun at the government’s expense?

Weather in LarryLand
According to “Chief Meteorologist” Dallas Raines (you just know that his career path was determined when he was a young lad) there is rain. Not only that, but it is “Leaving Hollywood” and “Traveling along the 5”, apparently heading out of town for the holidays. Only in LA can a storm get stuck in traffic…

Child’s Play
The Nutcracker is a child’s play. I was in it for 10 years. How’d that happen? If you had asked me 40 years ago in my twenties that I’d be part of a ballet, much less in one, I’d have thought you were Nuts, that you were Off Your Cracker that…. You’re right. A warning…

Going Around in Circles
I saw a bumper sticker that read “I’m Taking the Long Way – Siri gave me directions”. How true. Despite my continuing conspiracy theory about how Siri is trying to kill us, I had time to ponder this on my way to the desert to see Mom. Little did I know that I’d be gaining…

Grin and Bear It
The advantage of having a journalist in my immediate family is that we get “Breaking News”. For example, a major news network report this morning was about a black bear visiting a neighborhood. On the video from the owner, it (the bear, not the owner, although this outcome would not surprise us) is leaning up…

Others and I have been participating in discussions about redesigning our local libraries. I asked if we could have a dinosaur. Really. A good book is a wonderful thing…

Hot Off The Press
Here at LarryLand, we’re into Breaking News. Or, at least, we want our news “Hot off the Press”. In case you were sleeping under a log in Ukraine, hiding from Russian Forces, and missed the Mayhem in Manhattan, a certain former president called “The Donald” has been “indicated”. So, that leaves us with the question…

The Leased Tern
Here in Huntington Beach, there is a small seagull-like bird called the California Least Tern. Apparently it is their tern to be on the endangered species list. With valuable government benefits, things may tern for the better. I can’t speak for you, but I blame this on the name.

Local Colding
They say the best thing about Southern California is the weather. That is not true; it is the weather reports on our local news. I watch the weather reporters hard at work (that is to say usually bored stiff with no apparent weather to discuss) every morning at about 6:30. When I saw this weather…
