Pictures from Palm Desert

We drove out to Palm Desert to visit Aviva’s mom and her boyfriend Dave.  They’re snowbirds – they spend the winter in Palm Desert and the summer outside Detroit. We walked on El Paseo on Thursday (lots of closed stores, not a good sign for the economy), and walked around Palm Springs on Saturday (the […]

Tales From Nowhere

Title: Tales From Nowhere Author: Don George (editor) Paperback: 288 pages Publisher: Lonely Planet (September 1, 2006) Language: English ISBN-10: 1741045193 ISBN-13: 978-1741045192 I saw this book in a travel bookstore in Burbank and figured it would be a good read for Italy.  We put off our vacation (so we could spend the time searching […]

Pictures from Renton, WA and Venice, CA

I was in Renton, WA on a business trip, visiting the main office of Classmates.com (I manage a satellite office in Woodland Hills, CA).  It rains a lot there, and while the weather was clearing, we had a rainbow. Saturday (yesterday) we went to Venice to check it out again; we both really like the […]

Freedom or fundamentalism?

Interesting article in today’s New York Times, “For South, a Waning Hold on National Politics.” The Republican Party has become a mouthpiece for Christian fundamentalists that want to force everyone to live their life just like they do.  How is this any different than Muslim fundamentalists that want everyone to live their life like they […]

What to do with an economy on the rocks?

In today’s New York Times, there are four articles by four noted economists suggesting alternative approaches for improving the current economic conditions: It’s a Time to Listen, and to Obey the Laws of Arithmetic Put Away the Wish List, and Help Households Bounce Back The Mood Always Matters, So Restore Confidence First The Real Mandate […]

Darren Waterston and Holly Lane

We dropped the dog off with Uncle Jeff and drove into LA to visit Michael Kohn Gallery to see the show of Darren Waterston’s work.  He’s one of Aviva’s favorite living artists; we once almost bought one of his watercolors, but we like his paintings much more.  His work is very ethereal and now celestial; […]

The unopened bag at 7-11

I am a creature of habit – ask any of my friends, or especially my spouse. Most mornings, I drive over to a nearby 7-11 and buy two Diet Mountain Dews and one Diet Coke, and take them to work to drink over the morning.  So, the Indians that run the store know me – […]

A win, and a loss

On the plus side, Barack Obama is our president-elect.  Its high time a non-white minority candidate won the Presidency of the United States.  Obama ran a great campaign.  Now he needs to turn his landslide victory, with a near-record voter turnout, into real change. On the negative side, it looks like our country isn’t about […]

Tank Girl 2

Title: Tank Girl 2 Author: Alan Martin (Author), Jamie Hewlett (Illustrator) Paperback: 128 pages Publisher: Titan Books (March 1, 2003) ISBN-10: 184023492X ISBN-13: 978-1840234923 This wasn’t as good as the original Tank Girl comic; too complex, too many attempts to do too many things on one page.  But, there were high points, especially the “Summer […]
