Since we were told we needed a mimimum of five people to handle the number of trick or treaters, we decided to have a Halloween party. Here are my three best friends. First boyfriend on the left from when I first moved to CA (San Luis Obispo) in the late 80's, current partner of almost twelve...

more crowds We finally had to put up a sign to indicate no more candy. Everything is orderly. The police close the streets and at 9:30 they go through with a bull horn and clear the streets.

It took three people rotating to get the parade through. The handsome man in the leather jacket is my administrative assistant. He says his invite did not say anything about a costume

We moved into our new house in mid May and have been slowly working on it. We knew about the Christmas decorations typical in the neighborhood and the two weeks of trolley car tours. No one told us about Halloween. Big time decorations, often from professional Hollywood set decorators and any...

La Perla in waiting I have a La Perla in the garage waiting to be installed. Our new house has a MOL Bosch that is about six or seven years old and I am not impressed. I installed a Miele in my last house about ten years ago and loved it. Mieles are quiet, efficient, and do an amazing job. Like...

Top set My dads parents purchased the top set, I thought it was in 72 or so. Interestingly, they are still in use today. Neither of them has ever had a repair. Sometime in the late eighties I was visiting and my grandmother asked me to check out the dryer as it had a slight burn smell. I pulled...

One Model Below I just left the model immediatly below these in my place that I just sold in Studio City. Awesome and quiet workhouses. They do have the orbital "fast stroke" drive. These pictured here and the ones I just left behind had the short lived "endergy saver" temperature control...
