A post for my Mom. We’ve completed about half of our landscaping plans. Sticking with the Palm Springs-esque look, we upgraded here and there in both the front and back yard. The next step will be to add some subtle color. Before After Split the palms and moved them to the right. Added the agave, mexican grass, porch vines and a few other plants….

Happy Birthday, Bro

Enjoyed a sunset walk along the marina in Newport Beach.

Brit’s team failed to make the finals in San Juan Capistrano, but good soccer nonetheless.

BBQ? Get together? I don’t know, but I’m calling it a party.

Enjoyed watching the Euros Championship game with Brittany and Devin at our local pub.

More photo shoots, more often.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of my favorite uncle’s death. He was a good uncle who I still think of often. He managed to do more in his forty two years than most do in eighty, so his was hardly a life cut short. This ran in today’s Santa Rosa Press Democrat. MICHAEL MCDONALD Today, on the 20th anniversary of his passing, we fondly…

Happy Birthday, Pa!

Hemingway has made it clear that he needs more ball time.

Shook off the Vegas hangover to see the Broadway hit, Million Dollar Quartet, at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. Million Dollar Quartet recounts a legendary night in 1956 when Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash participated in a star-studded jam session at Sun Records in Memphis. Loved it.

I wish all flights were this short.

The Perfect Father’s Day

Even though it was spent in Temecula, watching Brit play is my favorite thing to do. Brittany was able to get back onto the field and played great. I asked for four goals and she gave me five. Even better, her team won the tournament, despite being a big underdog. The tournament favorite probably beats us seven out of ten times, but our girls…

Happy Father’s Day Pa

Three generations of Kenwoods. We smile more than our pictures suggest.

Now that’s a chopper.

My God, I actually went to a doggy birthday party.

Happy Birthday Aunt Ona!

Remember that time in Alaska when you let me throw gasoline in the dump and light it, but then yelled at me when I jumped in because I could’ve died? That was still fun.

Three weeks ago, a producer entered into negotiating with my “managers” for the option rights to Cheeseheads. Once it became clear that the production budget would be something I could one day put together I decided to reject the latest offer. Felt great saying no.

Making friends at the dog park.

We lost a client and friend over the weekend. He was 64 with no real heath issues. On Thursday, he and his wife, a couple attached at the hip, drove down from Charleston, South Carolina to Atlanta because Sonia and I had flown in for the fashion show. We enjoyed happy hour at the hotel and talked about a November trip to Charleston so…

I guess it’s fitting that the first picture of us seeing someone randomly wearing our clothing (2nd from right) resembles a Big Foot sighting.

Despite having our worst show since our first one (the idiots at the Dallas Market scheduled the show during high school and college graduation), Basically Me has already shipped over 20,000 pieces. P.S. What the hell is wrong with West Virgina?

#22 will fall on Friday.

Goliath won 3-2, but our sub-less team gave them a big scare. Brit pulled her Quad in the first ten minutes and missed the rest of the game. She may be out awhile.

This has been the most brutal tournament Brit’s team has ever played. Only thirteen girls were able to come, but I’m not sure eighteen would’ve made things easier. The altitude was a killer. Brit endured several asthma attacks. With that said, this team gave it its all and won both games today, the second in the final minute, to secure the wild card spot…

Scenes from Park City

Lost 3-1. Although it seemed like they were playing with more players than us, the altitude was clearly a factor as most girls were running at 50%.

Congrats, Rosie

In Park City, Utah to enjoy a weekend of watching Brit play soccer.

Enjoyed the first ballgame of the year. A picture perfect night.

First backyard BBQ of the season.

Marcy May Marlene makes ten. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t have an ending.

The whole family is at work today.

Because of our travels, our first order of business was to find a professional dog sitter/trainer that would board Hemingway in her own home while we are away. Today, we found that person. Hemingway and the trainer’s dog, Brian, became instant friends have vowed to tire each other out daily.
