We just returned from the Stanley Kubrick exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). This was part of Rachael’s 22nd birthday celebration – a trip that she and her dad cooked up. This exhibit is fabulous and could be revisited many times in order to fully experience it. They have clips from…

A Busy Day and a Good Movie
I have had a long day. We had the Breakfast Club this morning, then we attended a requiem mass for our friend, Barry Norcross, who died in January. After that, I had four hours of students and editing before we headed over to the Arc Light in Hollywood for dinner and a movie. Any one…
Thoughts on a Friday Night
Heading back from a Luna evening. We spent a few hours with our little grandbaby tonight plus Sarah and Gregorio, of course. Getting to hold that little sleepy girl and feel her warm little body in my arms is an indescribable treat. Baby love, for sure. Tomorrow we will be up early for the homeless…
Honey-Sweetened Lemon Coconut Almond Cookies
My great-nephew Eli, a fellow non-eater of refined sugar, came up with this delicious and nutritious recipe for a cake-like lemon cookie sweetened with honey or agave. This is one of those recipes that you can count on. The cookies are perfect every time in taste and texture. Today I went out and pulled a…
The Time is Now
We know a Mexican family with four fine sons. Two were born in the United States; two in Mexico. All four boys have lived here their entire lives save for a year or two when they were babies. Now the two boys – the “Mexican” citizens – have been given two glorious years to live…

A Lesson to Remember
I have a needlepoint in my living room that reads: Give Me Time Time for patience for understanding too Time to remember thoughtful things to do Time to believe in all fellowmen Time to perceive the value of a friend I say, Amen to that!
First Full Day Home
I guess it would be disingenuous of me to think I could write about anything else besides my new little granddaughter, Luna, the girl with whom I just spent the greater part of the afternoon and the evening. I guess you wouldn’t be surprised to hear how velvety soft her skin is – and her…
