Can’t wait to vote. If I could write in a candidate for president, I’d write in anybody else.
#49: New Workout We added this electro workout to our rotation and holy hell. It’s the only machine like it in the US and lucky for us it’s in Beverly Hills. Basically you go twenty minutes straight of squats, push ups, planks, curls, etc. while being electrocuted.
#23: Hike to the Wisdom Tree Figured we switch it up and take advantage of the gorgeous day. Sorry East Coast friends. It was brutally steep hike. I was KO’d a quarter of the way up. I Needed several breaks before reaching the peak. Left a note of wisdom on the tree as is the custom. Trying to find our home.
#19 Read 10 Books The extraordinary tale of two bicycle building brothers who changed the world with an impossible dream. Great book.
#64: Visit a Museum Enjoyed a two hour lunch break at the newly opened, Broad Museum of Contemporary Art. Warhols, Lichtensteins, Koons and a very large table.
#13: Try 10 New Los Angeles Restaurants Lunch at the new downtown restaurant, Otium. Two thumbs up.
Saw the Eagles at the Forum a year and half ago and they were fantastic as usual. Tough start of the year for musicians.
IMG_6014 from henry james on Vimeo. A little country in LA. Loved the Garth Brooks’ cover.
IMG_5995 from henry james on Vimeo. Another band with an entire set of top 10 hits. Hopefully my ears recover from standing in front of the speakers.
So you’re saying there’s a chance.
IMG_5924 from henry james on Vimeo. On a last minute whim, we went to see solo artist, and former frontman of the group Chicago, Peter Cetera. It was awesome. Every song was an 80’s hit. It was like being in a Karate Kid movie.
A heavy subject, but it made for a great movie.
My expectations were high, but I’m pretty lukewarm on this one. The cinemotography was top notch. Leo was great. But the story and payoff… Meh.
Switched to straight expresso in 2016. I’m hooked.
The official 2016 weigh in. The magic number is 157.4 lbs. Brutal.

Good advice to kickstart writing again.
#86: Five Rooftop Toasts We bid San Miguel De Allende farewell. It is a gem of a city. Incredibly picturesque, friendly people and the cheapest of eats. I’d love to return.
#42: Lounge by 5 hotel pools The perfect spot to start the new year. 2016 will be the year of the reboot. Three things come to mind. First and foremost, we’ll get LA Fashion Insider back on track. Secondly, we will finally focus on health and fitness. And last, but not least, I will begin to write again.

#39 Done: Visit Something Ancient. Cañada de la Virgen, the most resent ancient pyramid discovered in the world, has only been open since 2012. Our guide made it a truly illuminating experience.
#53 Done: Read 10 Books A great book to end the year on.

Atlantic: Bahamas, Atlanta, GA, New Orleans, LA CET: Milan, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Lucca…

#64 Done: Go South of the Border. Sonia, Brittany and I made it to San Miguel de Allende for some RR before facing attacking the New Year.
It was a Christmas miracle for Hemingway when the McCloreys came to town and gave him a pool day on a chilly winter’s day.

#53: Read 10 Books Read like a movie. And that’s not a bad thing.
#17: Grow LA Fashion Insider Not since 2012 have we accomplished this goal. There are lots of mitigating factors as to why, but I only want to concentrate on one. We got too comfortable. We got complacent. We didn’t really want more, so we got less. A lot less. Like 50% less over the last couple of years. I would be on the ledge if…
#38: See 10 New Movies in the Theater The new Star Wars wiped away the bad taste in my mouth from the last three. Brit and I liked it a lot.
