I avoid television newscasts like the plague. Or at least I try to do so. I’m not perfect and occasionally, I catch a news segment or two. And then, I hit myself in the head for having done so. I know better. It’s all the same […]
Admittedly, I have been obsessed with my house move. Everything about my move into my new (but really old) Los Angeles house has been fodder for venting, reflecting, and rejoicing. It’s been trying times. It’s been fun times. It’s been tiring times. We are several weeks […]
