Read Our Latest Column: "Hello From Before The Grave."

Welp, we’re all gonna die. As a matter of fact, some of you will read this after I am dead, so hello to my internet stalkers. It’s not that I’m dying with urgency, just passively like the rest of you. I currently plan to be still “here” to write the next bi-monthly column - although the writing process is so stressful it may actually be the kinetic death of me.

Difficult conversations can be, well, difficult, and yet it seems we are having them more often. Lately, it even feels as if, we exclusively have unpleasant interactions. It’s not just online, but actual in-person encounters that quickly turn nasty.

It seems everyone is wearing a shirt, hat, mask, or bumper sticker specifically intended to provoke a response from “the others.” This aggressive approach never changes anyone’s mind and only successfully radicalizes people deeper into their dug-in mental trenches.

When the everyday becomes the never-again, the overlooked becomes the unforgettable.

The reaction of public shock and mourning after the San Clemente Krikorian theater suddenly closed in November of 2017 wasn’t just about the loss of a common amenity, but about the loss of a location that generated so many shared memories…continue reading

People always say they wish they had a time machine to go back and change the past in order to alter present circumstances, yet rarely consider changing the present to alter future circumstances.

Dear Reader, you just called in a Close Air Support (CAS) strike on what is currently Santa Margarita Toyota.

New Lake Forest Civic Center Open For Business & It’s Seriously Impressive

Lake Forest, CA: Wow, Montana is nice this time of year! Wait a minute, this isn’t a rustic ranch vacation spot – it’s the brand-new Lake Forest Civic Center!
