Angeles Crest Highway – Our Backyard Paradise One of my favorite drives is to climb up Angeles Crest Highway from La Cañada and explore some of the most spectacular scenery in Southern California.

The winter runoff in the canyons was held in cisterns built of stone and mortar, then […]
Hi, CV! “Do we fear our enemies more than we love our kids?” For some reason, that slogan popped into my mind and I knew what it meant. Do we fear stigma and loss of social status and our own demons so much that we’ve ruined our children? When your tooth hurts or your vision […]
