Tonight we headed to Hollywood with our Texas guests. We went to the El Capitan movie theater, a restored old movie house of the first order, to see Inside Out, complete with a pre-movie stage show. This is the only theater I’ve ever visited where they have dancers who do a show that augments the…
Airstream in Place
We are still up in Ojai, heading down to LA tomorrow. Our Texas friends are still here and we are enjoying time here and Ventura together. Very relaxed and comfortable. The Airstream is nestled between two orange trees, a distance away from the Spartan Manor and the fire pit. The good news is that its…

I highly recommend this film for anyone who wants a fresh look at how our emotions play a major role in our lives. Great story. Innovative and unexpected. Off to bed. Heading back to CA tomorrow. Sleep…
Thank you SCOTUS!
I am so happy that the Supreme Court has supported same sex marriage. I believe this is the absolute right thing to do, particularly since I am from a gay family with several gay siblings, and a mother who lived with her “best friend” for 29 years after my dad died. My brothers and sister…
Our Day in Photos
Today was spent with our Utah family. A hike followed by hang out time at my niece Kevin and her husband Scott’s house. I am dead tired but let it suffice to say that we had a wonderful time. I feel fortunate to have such a wonderful family. Here are a few photos: Summit Park,…
