Snoopy Has a Hangover

Snoopy Has a Hangover

I recommend this red wine as a cure-all for insomnia, disenchantment, athlete’s foot, hair loss, gout. This isn’t Gatorade they’re pouring. It’s more like a bloody steak. Yum.

Sunlight on Diamonds

Sunlight on Diamonds

This engagement was like waiting for Germany to annex Austria, or for Bonnie to seduce Clyde. You knew they would, you just didn’t know exactly when.

Tingles of the Heart

Tingles of the Heart

Friends gathered for a surprise bash in the backyard. Still not sure how my daughters pulled that one off.

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings

It was an easy ride to Santa Barbara. You just follow the pumpkin stands along the 126, from Santa Clarita to the sea. Cowboy country.
