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…

Days and Confused
I’m at our local seafood store, smiling and chatting with the sales clerk.

Over those years, she’s been very nice and professional. I’ve been me. I’m pretty sure that,…

A Ton of Fun

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…

Getting it Wright
In this morning’s papers, there was a quote that Orville and Wilbur Wright proved in 1903 that “you could make a heavier-than-air craft that would take off and fly and not fall down, but it didn’t mean you could fly from Los Angeles to London right away”. That’s true – you still had to clear…
