The Bilko Athletic Club by Gaylon H. White Brings a Rich History of LA to Life Through Baseball

As much as Gaylon H. White’s new book, The Bilko Athletic Club, revels in a historical and wondrous time in Los Angeles through the story of the 1956 Angels, his book also circuitously captures a history of my father and grandfather. As he relayed it to me, his father and my grandfather, both ministers in the LA area, often enjoyed days with their boys at Little … Continue reading The Bilko Athletic Club by Gaylon H.

The Traveler’s Bookcase: An Interview with the Owner

The Traveler’s Bookcase located on 8375 W. Third Street in LA is the kind of place I hope never disappears. I could get lost in this store for hours dreaming up my next adventure.

Band NYCO Lead By Ted Atkatz Will Passionately Awaken You

I first met the lead singer Ted Atkatz at a Google event in Venice, California where he was playing with his band at the Google art walk and auction. We were both loving the massive real crab balls that were being served, and he later gave me some of his CD’s. I became hooked on his music as I repeatedly listened to his tunes in … Continue reading Band NYCO Lead By Ted Atkatz Will Passionately Awaken You

Philippe on Wilshire – A Chinese Let Down

Sometimes we not only share the best of LA, but what we hope becomes the best. Recently, the restaurant Philippe opened up on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. This pricey Chinese restaurant known for its Peking duck and hand-pulled noodles left me wanting way more. I was lucky enough to be invited to the new 5,000 square foot space before it opened to the public … Continue reading Philippe on Wilshire – A Chinese Let Down

Singer Dan Godlin – Pop Rock ‘n’ Soul

Singer songwriter Dan Godlin is a young man, a mere 23 years old. Born in Houston and living in NYC, I first met Godlin outside the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood after listening to his romantic soulful tunes.  He reminded me of a football player in one of those Varsity Blues type movies. The confident red haired man was surrounded by many girls taking his picture as well … Continue reading Singer Dan Godlin – Pop Rock ‘n’ Soul

My First IPL at Kalologie 360 Spa in Brentwood

My mom thought I was crazy when I called her on my way home with an ice pack on my burning chest wedged between my bra and sweater to cool off what felt like the worst sunburn ever. What I thought would be a burning sensation for days, only lasted an hour or so. If you haven’t heard of IPL, it stands for intense pulse … Continue reading My First IPL at Kalologie 360 Spa in Brentwood

Author Mitch Albom in Conversation with Actor Bradley Whitford

“The last thing Morrie said was I want to ask you a favor. After I’m dead, will you come to my grave? Not the way everyone else comes where you leave your car running, you put flowers on the grave, and you run back in your car. Come when you have some time. Bring a blanket. Bring some music. Talk to me just like we … Continue reading Author Mitch Albom in Conversation with Actor Bradley Whitford
