The 1980 Great Wilshire Walk
In 2006, we marched down Wilshire Boulevard with more than 50 of you; many of our friends (and yours, I'm sure) thought we were crazy.But as much as Wilshire was designed with the motorist in mind, the boulevard's role as Los Angeles' main drag has drawn urban explorers for decades. People who…

The kiss
We did it. My parents flew down for a long weekend and today they treated all the grandkids (and parents!) to a day at Disneyland. I told Mercy that we were going to meet Cinderella. I told her other things that we would do there, but I don’t think she heard anything after that. She wore her…

Garrafa no se entera, con lo que me voy a hacer de oro no es con los salvapantallas sino con estas revolucionarias gafas que vi y me probé en Universal Citywalk, seguro que me las quitan de las manos tarados como él: Por cierto, también tenían el otro modelo que ya comentamos aquí.

ISRAEL BASEBALL EXCLUSIVE: IT AIN'T OVER! (At least not til it's over. IPBL quietly negotiates, IAB backs down and summer dream stays alive.)
As a great (honorary) Jewish ballplayer (and a great half-Jewish rock star) once said: It ain’t over ‘til it’s Passover. Er, "over." And though time’s run out on self-imposed, common sense deadlines and there’s little chance anyone can get a baseball league together in Israel in time…

Gasol rompe su gafe en Sacramento
Los Lakers ganaron a los Kings 105-117. Gasol nunca había ganado en Sacramento. 6.40h: Los Lakers ganaron al final son una solvencia de escándalo. Bryant apareció justo cuando era necesario y Gasol mantuvo al equipo durante todo el partido. Otra vez, la ‘pareja’ volvió a ser vital. …

2008 Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers
It's Joe Torre's job as new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers to get the club back to postseason play. The pressure to do so won't be anything like what he experienced the past 12 years in New York with the Yankees. Then again, these Dodgers don't have the talent he had at his disposal in New…

Los Angeles Lakers - Sacramento Kings: No More Skin On The Lakers’ Teeth
An odd schedule to be sure, but the first time the Lakers play the Kings turns out to be in March. Of the last 22, the Lakers play the Kings 4 times, which is more than a single tiered blessing. First off, playing a non-playoff team for conference games this late can definitely help the Lakers…

Photo Essay: Escape to Joshua Tree
Los Angeles is an amazing city, we really don't know how good we have it. We have the beaches, the mountains, the forests, and the deserts, all within a few hours drive. When things get a little too complicated in the city, I love the idea that we have all these options, where we can escape…
