Why do I sense a smear campaign?

Outside the Cedars IT office building:

Who knows what our proud name willl mean by the time Hollywood is finished with it?

The most beautiful airport I have ever seen. Not that this shot shows it. But I was here!

Pacific Design offices near the WeHo (West Hollywood) library, which I have enjoyed a lot. 


This is what my Sunday nights look like at LAX

Insane. It took an hour last week for me and Benji to board our bus, get to the parking lot, and get on our way. 

Road warrior congestion.

The Far Pavilions - an Awesome book


Enriched Cont
And it's not just me who thinks so.  Just finished the first volume.  
  • Can't wait to get my hands on Volume 2.
    The far pavilions
    Kaye, M. M. (Mary Margaret), 1908-2004. 
    Summary
    When The Far Pavilions was first published nineteen years ago,
    it moved the critic Edmund Fuller to write this: "Were Miss Kaye
    to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting
    accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's
    achievement in Gone With the Wind." From its beginning in the foothills
    of the towering Himalayas, M.M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich
    and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest
    panoramic sagas of modern fiction. The Far Pavilions is itself a
    Himalayan achievement, a book we hate to see come to an end. it is a
    passionate, triumphant story that excites us, fills us with joy, move us to
    tears, satisfies us deeply, and helps us remember just what it is we want
    most from a novel.
