We’re doing family stuff over this weekend - here and there - more art coming soon.
Mandu is boarded and well taken care of. The vet said they had the “spa” ready for her.
Oh, and don’t miss “The Devil Wears Prada” if you’re a Meryl Streep or Ann Hathaway fan.

During the few weeks that Mandu lost her vision and much of her appetite, we started giving her bowls of half and half or even whipping cream just to get some liquid and calories in her. Not surprisingly, she took a liking to it, and would lap cream even when she rejected her usual cat […]

What’s that? You say your teenage son did it? Riiiiiiiight.

Our Bruin son, Mike, got the news yesterday about his summer internship.
He (and we) couldn’t be more thrilled, seeing as how he’ll be working at a company whose products he’s used since he was two years old.

Once again it’s time for El Dia de Los Muertos, as it’s known in Los Angeles and other cities with a heavy Latin American influence. We also call it Halloween, but I think the ‘muertos’ theme is much more interesting, as are the traditions that accompany it.
Every year I create an artistamp to swap with […]

Fire season has begun in So. California. The good news is that so far only one structure has been endangered and only one firefighter injured. The bad news is that 17,000 acres have been consumed and the season is young. We still have months of Santa Ana winds to go before the rainy season kicks […]
