Festivities blocked him from his home
Is this the home of the free? Apparently not if one lives off of Paul Revere Drive in Calabasas. About 9 p.m. on July 4, I was returning home from a friend’s house. Approaching Paul Revere Drive on Mulholland Highway, where I need to make a right turn to get to my home, my way was blocked by a van […]
No need to be rude about it!

Walking through the blazing chaparral at midday, reptiles may be the only other intrepid mountain inhabitants you encounter. When all of nature is taking a siesta, the only movement you detect […]

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy” begins a George Gershwin song that many of us can hum. When it comes to California’s four indistinct seasons, a majority of residents might cite summer as their favorite time of year. But to others, summer isn’t such a hot time. If you have children, July and August can be a 62-day challenge, and […]
