Am I the only one having sneezing fits? Around here the mowing, trimming and planting continue all year ’round. We’ve got the weather for it. But it looks like there won’t be any more rain for a few months. As mud turns to dust and we kick it up, my nose reacts with snorty violence. [...]
I haven’t taken you to Hahamongna Watershed Park in a while. I suppose I’ve mentioned this before: nobody I know actually calls it that. We call it “JPL.” For some reason we don’t confuse the park with the aerospace research center. When someone asks if I want to walk dogs together at JPL I am [...]
Here’s how I choose the Zen Monday photo: if I have no idea what to say about it, it works. Zen Monday is the day you tell us what the photo’s about, rather than me telling you. Please do leave us your thoughts in the Comments. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo

It matters not. I need them. Stop by Litfest today if you have a chance. It’s free, it’s at Central Park [...]
I know. I am just that brave. I don’t usually blog about national chain businesses, but I had such a nice experience at LensCrafters yesterday–yes, the one in the Paseo Colorado–plus I took this bizarre, yet strangely attractive photo of a photo of myself, so I thought I’d post about the experience. When I arrived, [...]
The Dena Magazine has got something going on. These guys started small and kept going, bridging gaps, and they haven’t stopped. Sometimes they write about things other Pasadena publications either gloss over or never mention at all. I think their progress is well worth watching. On May 19th, from 10am-3pm, The Dena Magazine brings us [...]
This view of downtown Los Angeles isn’t exactly on my commute, but I like the picture so here you go. We’re looking down an alley near 2nd and Vignes. I used to drive to that area years ago because my headshot photographer had a studio there. Space was cheap and the light was good, but [...]
For a while now, I’ve been trying to pass myself off as a Woman of Letters. Finally I have proof! I am a Woman of Letter! And there’s more where that came from. This letter is by way of reminding you (because I didn’t have an L) that Saturday, all day, the first annual Litfest [...]
