You can ride up high You can soar above You can be flying through the big top But to what end? You look down from your highrise You can peer down the ladder You can shout out to those below But to what end? You can […]
Los Angeles is not at all like what you see on television. Although, admittedly, the television show of Lethal Weapon often shows scenes filmed in my neighborhood of downtown LA. I have even, I believe, seen them filming scenes for that show. Which is very cool. […]
I like donuts. I could even say that I love donuts. Although, I could never be at the Homer Simpson level of donut love. That truly is intense. Plus, I maybe eat a donut once every six months or so. Does that constitute love? I work in […]
