Hope you all had a great weekend. Bekah arrived on Saturday morning and we’ve been having a great time under the sunny and smogless Southern California skies. We decided not to splurge $500 each to see Radiohead last night and opted for a lazy day of football watching. Within an hour of driving her rental […]

Hope all has been well with you during this winter season. Now if only CMJ could get their act together. It might be time for someone to step forward and create an alternative.

We’re having what is possibly our first real rainstorm of the year in Los Angeles. I had two great museum visits this weekend: Joseph Beuys at LACMA and Collection: MOCA’s First […]
