Our Yearly Playlist

Dinner and “Once” at the Pantages

Big fan of the movie. The play did not disappoint.

We had to up the ante on eating out, so we joined this secret dinner email list. Not bad.

Happy Birthday, Bro.

In case your children ever want a tongue ring I present exhibit A.

Enjoyed dinner at the new oyster bar that just opened in our old neighborhood. I miss Sherman Oaks.

Welcome to West England. 70,000 strong at the Rose Bowl to watch the LA Galaxy take on Manchester United. 80% of the crowd was cheering for the England club.

Happy Birthday, Ernest.

You Too, Buddy.

Happy Birthday, Matt.

Aside from some horrible pictures, we had another great dinner with friends.

Sheffield Garden Walk

Perfect day for a street festival.

Lunch at Au Cheval.

Celebrating my friend Jeff’s birthday in the city.

Another regular stop for lunch.

Dinner at Publican.

Gene and Judes

Always the first stop. Time to abuse the body.

Chi-Town

Thanks to the polar vortex, the weather in Chicago is near perfect.

#94 in Progress

His fiction is much better.

Celebrating George and Brittany’s birthday on a leisurely Sunday.

B-Day Dinner with Brit

Running the stopwatch with Brittany. This is as close as I have gotten to working out in weeks.

#57 in Progress

Ebert was the only film critique I hoped would one day review my movie.

Breakfast

And why I yo-yo diet.

Worst thing about Grimaldi’s pizza not being opened yet is that it’s right next to Christian Louboutin. Happy early birthday, Sonia.

4th of July

Dinner at Alize on the top of the Palms.

#47 Done

#47: Lounge by five hotel pools. 106 degrees in the Vegas, but it’s a dry heat.

We lose. But, it was a good ride.

Polynesian Days at the Club

Sonia and I were jet-lagged at work today, but Brittany and Hemingway did all of the sleeping.

Last Night in Prague

Last Meal

Cottocrudo in Prague. Tuna, grilled octopus, pasta and dessert.
