UPDATE — Below I misspelled (or squished together) the wonderful bakery/restaurant. It’s Euro Pane (thank you, Cafe Pasadena). The mystery woman standing next to Jervey Tervalon is Georgia Jeffries (thank you, Larry Wilson). LitFest Pasadena was rained out on Friday, but the planned after-party for organizers went on anyway at Europane on Colorado between Euclid [...]

Bob O’Rourke passed away yesterday. He was a great friend. When I first knew him he was the director of public relations at Caltech, then he moved up in the world and became the vice president of public relations there. Bob called me on Jan. 2, 1991 — my first day on the job as [...]
