Loved it. Not for everyone though.

#2: Grow LA Fashion Insider

I stepped back from the company to start writing again and the result was a second year in a row of growth. Hmm.

Last book of the year. A great writer.

#48: I saw the first one when I was around 8 years old. I started sharing the folklore with the kids when they were around the same age. It took four decades, but tonight, I took in the last chapter of Star Wars with my adult children. The tear in my eye wasn’t for the storyline.

#20: It was obviously well written, but a bit old fashion for my taste.

#29: Complete Magnolia & Seoul Album

Took the kids to a business meeting.

Brit won him a big ball at her company party at Universal Studios.

Loved it.

Well written, but my least favorite of his.

Cool pic with a future hall of fame catcher.

Broke into our place to “inside job” the pot shop above us, but when they hit concrete our computers were their parting gifts.

#68: Set my watch to 5 different time zones.

For the first time in years we’re not getting on a jet plane for the holidays. That said, #68 is complete with six time zones.

Pacific Time: Los Angeles. Napa & Sonoma Valley. Las Vegas. Yosemite.

Mountain Time: Sun Valley, Idaho.

Atlantic Time: NYC layover

Central time: Dallas. Austin. Kansas City & Springfield, Missouri. Fayetteville, Arkansas. New Orleans.

Central European Standard Time: Madrid, Barcelona & Seville.

Western European Standard Time: Lisbon, Porto & Sintra.

Enjoyed it.

#75: Commit to a writing process

After a ten year hiatus, I’m finally writing like it’s my job again. Thanks to Sonia, I’ve been writing 40 hours a week since April. Hope to have a first draft of a novel next year.

Lost Spirits Distillery Tour

Thanksgiving prep.

Devin got the spare.

Coles French Dip, LA Car Show and Korean BBQ are a few of Devin’s favorite things.

Loved the writing. Not alone considering it won the Pulitzer Prize.

Grateful to spend so much time with this one.

Cruising around downtown.

It was probably the elephant research and subplot of this mystery that got me.

I didn’t love the book, but I loved the writing.

After a six year hiatus, one of our biggest clients (now 40 stores) came back to us.

Donna Summer at the Pantages. Fun night with my dad and Georgeanne.

First time golfing in four years. Last time golfing in at least the next eight. Loved the company though.

85 and sunny. Great place to nap in the backyard.

They’re very attentive now that we’re home.

Late night ice cream with the kids.

#21 Read 4 non fiction books

Some good nuggets gleaned from the letters of a man who loathed to speak of writing.

#90: Palm Springs

Best place to recoup from a vacation.

22 years is looking good on us.

Didn’t care about the characters enough to love this one.

#48: See 10 New Movies in the Theater

Give him the Oscar.

Best bang for your buck meals out here.

He’s very patient despite hating haircuts.

Maybe my favorite big city yet.

#40: Watch a Sunset

Belem Tower in Lisbon

At the Pink House in Lisbon

Beco Gourmet Cabaret in Lisbon
