A whimsical piece of sculpture by artist – Yayoi Kusama – is taking joggers and strollers alike by surprise on the park trail just beyond the flats in Beverly Hills.
Entitled – “Hymn of Life, Tulips” – the bold sprightly-colored three-dimensional work in-the-round instantaneously delights when it reaches out from the [...]

Well, when you were a kid, your mother drummed it into you.
“Wear clean underwear. You never know when you’ll be in an auto accident in the street.”
Say what?
One day recently, I witnessed a collision on Laurel Canyon, and the advice came home to roost!

Lately, wherever I go, it seems that a whole brigade of frustrated dudes are camping out in the stalls of men’s rooms – at the local library, truck stops off-highway, and at McDonald’s take-out – just about everywhere.

If you’re like me, you hate getting “dings” in your vehicle.
To avoid the problem, whenever I pull into a parking lot, I generally park away from the “madding crowd” in a section of the pavement where little or no cars are parked.

Gee, kids sure are a lot more pampered since I attended University!
For example, on the UCLA campus the other day, I stumbled upon an informative “survival guide” prepared for students that was put out for young freshmen to get oriented on campus (and off).
What a Greek moment!
When I was hitting the books, and toiling my [...]

Nab him, will ‘ya!
Well, we’re pretty much use to Governor Schwarzenegger’s preaching and inclination to spoil all the fun, but if you’re from out-of-state (or residing abroad) you are hereby duly informed that the Gov has terminated text messaging while cruising the mean streets of the sunshine State.

The morning paper was full of jolts and surprises.
Heather Locklear, one of Aaron Spelling’s little darlings (Dynasty), was busted for an alleged problem manipulating her vehicle on the mean streets of Montecito (!).
A witness allegedly spied the svelte beauty stumble in and out of her vehicle – at which point – she revved up the [...]
