This old apartment on the corner of Gage and Vermont in downtown Los Angeles is the nightmare which awaited me and my brother once we arrived. L.A. is always so beautiful from an airplane window, an even more beautiful as the plane starts its descent, but the landscape quickly changes from heaven to hell once on the ground.. We went from a family oriented community to a gang infested ghetto in o

As great as southern California is, sometimes I’ve just got to get away. My favorite get-away is Hawaii, there’s no place better to unwind and enjoy paradise. It’s a totally easy flight, and in no time I’m laying on a beach, whale watching, trying out a surfboard, driving up a mountain or watching a gorgeous [...]

Was away again for a few days. This time to sunny, hot, delightful California to visit friends. It was wonderful. Being away is good. It is hard to be places where Lou and I have been together, however. That part can be hard. But once through it, it is good to be away. Breakfast outside, wine under the stars, long walks, pool, golf...I wonder why we live in Chicago, why would ANYONE choose to live HERE when there is somewhere like THERE? I found myself asking that question often. I returned a bit healthier from all that walking and fresh fruit, only to now find myself bundled up with a blanket, keeping the couch warm in front of the tv. So much for starting spring with healthy habits. It's easy to be "good" when its sunny, warm and fun. It's hard when its cold, gray, and lonely. Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Only maybe 3 more months or so until we have California type days. Hope I can hold out. Back to the blanket and couch. It's still winter after all.
