Note to the kidlets

In a perfect world, you will grow up, have a great career, marry a beautiful wife, and have beautiful children playing in your beautiful house surrounded by a white pickett fence. Celebrating the joys of life together as a family... If for some reason, that is not how your life turns out, thats okay, you are not alone. Just do me one favor. Please. Call your children on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays and other holidays and special occasions, because they should not be the ones calling you, afterall, you are THERE FATHER.

Why Joshua Tree makes me happy

Because, You can climb, jump, explore, all in 65 degree weather. My boys were like spiders, Nick was the cautious one, Steve-o leaped from boulder to boulder with no fear. Me and Tom just sat and watched and took our time.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Smack dab in the middle of Hollywood. Santa Monica Blvd and Van Ness, next to Paramount Studios. It exudes old Hollywood when you pass the gates. Breathtakingly peaceful, ancient trees hovering all the pathways, cool breezes and beatiful views from every angle. Pure zen. It far exceeded my expectations. My first Day Of The Dead celebration was with 2 of my favorite people. Nick and Tom. They made it so much better, we topped it off with a trip to Canters. Cant go to Hollywood and not stop at Canters. I cant wait to go back next year.
