Thanksgiving in my home this year was on Saturday, after waiting for 4 remaining family members to arrive. Because of this, the Turkey Trot couldn't begin until Sunday morning, just to be safe. Sure enough, I went outside to fetch the Sunday morning paper and about 30 "Thanksgiving survivors" ...

Wow ... talk about getting dumped! We've all been there, I'm sure ... but what did this cute little camping trailer do to deserve this? I was driving down Llano road in Sonoma County and happened upon this unwanted former "home" that will have to be hauled away. My only question is ... did the tr...

I remember Little Shop of Horrors as an odd and scary movie, but it was certainly entertaining. OK, maybe warped is a better word to describe it. California Carnivores plays on that movie, yet they do it in a delightful way. At the road to the entrance, you are greeted by a giant Venus Flytrap. ...

Growing up, my Thanksgivings were always spent together with my cousins, Aunts and Uncles on my Dad's side. One year, we all decided to gather at my family's beach cabin in Newport, Oregon.
