Every single day

I’m a social butterfly.  One of those people who loves any sort of opportunity to chat with new people, experience exciting new things, see new sights.  Very socially oriented. 

As a result, and as a business owner, I LOVE networking events and social mixers.  Most of the people who attend are in business for themselves, [...]

Primary Reflections

So last night, before joining a group of Canadians and Brits at the Hudson in West Hollywood to watch the Lakers’ game, I popped over to my local polling station and did my due diligence, voting in the primary.  Because I’m a Democrat, there wasn’t too much to vote for, but what the heck…I worked [...]

Gulf oil crisis

We’ve all read the news, are watching, with disbelief the oil slick that is growing by the second.  BP says they are taking all measures to stop the leak.  The government says they are doing the best they can — which means they have to rely on BP engineer and scientist expertise in the [...]

One person.

Here I sit, again, writing at my dining room table, with doors fully open, the smell of jasmine and roses, lavendar and rosemary gentlingin on the breeze.   I’ve just been reading news reports and emails regarding the oil well explosion tragically killing 11 workers and the resulting break in the pipeline that is decimating the [...]

Food, Inc.

Last Sunday, my brother-in-law and sister had me over for dinner, along with my daughter.  For BBQ…we LOVE BBQ.   They had just watched Food, Inc., the eye-opening documentary by Robert Kenner, that digs into the food chain we depend upon.  I hadn’t yet seen the film, but my bro’ and sis filled me [...]

David being marginalized by Goliath…in Encino Village.

Update:  May 18, 2010

Well, the shortened and moved batting cage is back up.  I haven’t been able to get a view from the gardens of the affected residents.  It does look lower and it was moved further away from homes.  Jury is still out.  The rest of the ball park is very lovely.  I’ll [...]

Happy Birthday, Ronni

There is a wonderful blogger, Ronni Bennett, who has been chronicling her life (and that of those aging around her) within the framework of political, personal and world view.  I love her blog…why?  She’s a straight-shootin’, say it like it is, kind of gal.  She is well-informed, does her research on whatever topics she [...]

Everyone’s talking healthcare!

I’m so proud that the healthcare bill has passed.  In our family (my mom, me and my 10-year old daughter) we pay almost $2,000/month for coverage and prescription medications.  That’s stunning.  My mother cannot shop for different providers because she has Type 2 diabetes and pays to be covered in a more expensive group [...]

Text messaging for politicians

Couldn’t sleep, so I decided to take a shower at 4:30 am.  When I’m that wired, it usually indicates I’ve got a lot on my plate and I haven’t got my process for dealing with that plate sorted out.  So, shower it was.  And in the shower, my mind has a tendency to wander [...]
