Sunday

Breakfast burritos. Found our dream home (we’d have to move mountains). Ran show numbers in Hollywood. Sonia prepared Chilean sea bass and a greek salad for dinner. Knocked nothing off the list, but a good day.

Santa Ana winds blew in some 80 degree weather.

#86 Done

#86: Wake up at 5am for ten business days straight. Staying up late in Vegas and taking in a show. Thanks, Anna. They say it takes 21 days to make a habit. We have no intentions to pushing this one. The sunrises were great, but come 1pm, it was zombie time.

A great Mediterranean dinner at our favorite Vegas restaurant.

#89 Done

#89: A New Mattress. A big help for the back. My sleep number is 35.

2014 In Review

Business was a roller coaster ride, and 2014 was “The Colossus”, but, we played hard, too. Watching Brit score the game winning goal against UC Irvine was the pinnacle moment of my year. Here are a few other highlights…. We rang in the New Year as a family in Puerto Rico We Tangoed We ate shrimp & grits in Charleston and drank green beer…

The start to a rainy Sunday.

Watched the Clippers dominate the Mavs with my brother.

#86 Still in Play

Losing weight is not.

#29 Done

#29: See a Sunrise. Getting up at 5am has its advantages.

Starting the New Year off as healthy as possible.

This was the Disney World vacation the kids never had. Great weather. Spent every day at the pool. They even had craps at the pool which turns out not to be a good thing. Anyway, first and last time at a mega resort.

Fake smiles. Crapped out on the tables.

#2 Not Happenin’

#2 Grow LA Fashion Insider, Inc. We thought we would have a chance this year, but Ebola wiped out our fourth quarter and contributed to our own poor efforts to beat last year’s mediocre numbers. Other than luxury brands, apparel continues to drag through the mud of this new economy. We may fail again in 2015, but we are determined to fail better.
