The Candidates

I watched the last (Republican) debates from South Carolina. I thought all the candidates spoke very well. None seemed caught off -guard nor did anyone sound awkward. It has made me think just how hard it is going to be to pick one. I found this great website from Elissa's alma mater UCSB. I am reading it all the time.
These are important times in our history. We will be picking a new leader. We have to do our homework lest we get stuck with another mess like the last eight yrs.

(anyone want to tell me even one good thing Bush has done?)

Steve Martin bio


My sister bought me this book for my birthday. I have always been a Steve Martin fan. He's an Orange County boy like us (Social D is from OC too).
I love this book. What a life this guy had. So many times when things couldn't look more hopeless he picks himself up and keeps trying. The people he knew, the material he tried and experimented with are so fascinating. When he finally hit the big time I guess it was not all he dreamed of. So he stopped.
I love the facts in the book: an old picture of pre-fame Linda Ronstadt (also the pre-famous Eagles as her backup band), clubs he performed in in Tustin, Huntington Beach, towns I lived in and grew up in.
What a cool guy. I recommend it highly.

Ten monies $$$$$$$$$$

Wow, these women look GREAT










I wish all women looked this good (sans the tattoos). Trash those ugly jeans and ugly shoes. My girlfriend Annie is buying some of their dresses: the Annie and the Betty Ford. And I love the skirts too. I said I'll buy her some stylish All-Stars to match.
Can't wait!
