Summer Time 2009

 When we hear (or read on facebook or twitter) our friends convey their woes of rain and overcast days, we mourn the fact that all we get is sunshine! We love the good weather but very much miss the variety that other places offer. However, we have no bugs or mosquitoes so that is great!  Erica and I are doing very well. We went hiking this past weekend up in the hills and had a picnic lunch in a nice garden. We very much enjoyed ourselves and could have used a bit of overcast to lower the heat,

Happy Anniversary

Erica and I celebrated our anniversary this week and we had a load of fun. One of the fun things we did was go horseback riding. It was great just to get away from the busy lifestyle known as Los Angeles traffic and enjoy each other?s company up in the hills and take in the nature. For more pictures you can visit my facebook page (See link on home page). Erica and I are doing great! Since we married we have had so many great opportunities and appreciate all the calls and emails from all of you.

Happy New Years!

Winter Times

                         I love this time of year. I prefer the cooler temperatures over the hot summer. The Christmas lights shining and the buzz at the local malls bring a smile to my face. Today I was walking to the bank when I passed Bob Hope?s house. His family still lives there I have been told. On the corner of their lot is a very large nativity set that is very classy looking. It?s yet another reminder of why I love this season so much. This time of the year always remind me about what i

A WARM FALL AND OTHER THINGS

Carnifex Music Video: Seen on MTV 2

Recently I filmed for a music video. The band was Carnifex and the song was "Answers of Mourning." It was a very hot day in North Carolina and it was in the middle of all the fires around the Dismal Swamp areas. We could smell the smoke from the old abandoned school building that we were filming in. The band was very nice. They liked to talk to everyone and seemed tired from traveling so much. The crew was also fun to work with. As usual the production ran behind and the band ended up missing a

Getting Settled

Erica and I are getting settled in our new place. We love our location. We are close to our friends here in LA as well as the metro and fun places to hang out and eat. While we've been here we have discovered that we love In in Out, El Pollo Loco, Don Cucos, and Mecili's. Don Cucos has great Mexican food and the service is spectacular. Meceli's is a wonderful Italian place around the corner from Universal City. The atmosphere is oh so fun and when they sing to you....they really SING. Its not li
