Dive sent me a photo of the Divebrary. Looks like my book takes its position slumming on the shelf with Voltaire, Spenser and Shakespeare. Those are pretty books, aren’t they? They’re not old–not antique, anyway. They’re specially-made sets for modern collectors. I have a collection of Arden Shakespeare paperbacks, but it’s not the same thing. [...]
I’m letting you know early so you won’t plan anything else for March 30th. I promise, this time I will not bring a dried-up, store-bought pie. I might bring a store-bought pie, but if I do it will be a nice one. All the cool people will be there. You’ll fit right in. Read the [...]
Boz got to go with me to Hollywood today. He doesn’t much like voice-overs, but he gets a lot of attention at the studio so he tolerates “going to work.” Afternoon light in studio D is only one of the many pleasures of my weekly visit to Bell Sound Studios. There’s also an espresso maker, [...]
Have you been there? Please report. Sure looks funky. I can’t tell from the outside if I mean that in a good way or a bad way. But I’m intrigued. Corner of Washington and Catalina, north end of Bungalow Heaven, west end of East Washington Village. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo
Somebody sure loves their dog. I know how they feel. And our pets need our love, especially on those evenings when they track poo into the house on their toes. You know, just as an example. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo
It’s Monday, the day you tell us about the photo, rather than me telling you. It’s not a guessing game, there’s no “correct answer.” Just tell us, in your own words, what the photo means to you. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo
Nosy. But a pretty kitty, poised on his matching pillow and posing behind a picket fence, is impossible to resist. This post is dedicated to Pasadena Adjacent. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo
photo by John Sandel It’s here-itty-here-here-here. After weeks of round-the-clock emails, phone calls and hair-pulling, and one (only one!) unavoidable spurt of tears, Camelot & Vine is finally available in paperback–or as the old folks call it, a “real” book. My friend Paula says, “Just upload it! It takes five minutes!” She’s right, of course. [...]
I didn’t get a shot of cafe chairs until the last minute, when yesterday afternoon I had coffee with a friend at Fiore Market Cafe in south Pasadena. We considered other spots, but my friend told me Fiore had the best chairs. The chairs on the outside patio are painted a bright, lime green. I [...]
Let’s visit some of the public places at Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum. I took this photo inside the Pasadena Mausoleum, which I never knew was on the grounds. Even if I had, I wouldn’t have thought I could visit inside. This building is at the southern end of the cemetery, almost at Woodbury Avenue. [...]
