The Secret is Out
September 7, 2009
Men knit. Lots of men, turns out. In fact, the first knitters were most likely male Arabian sailors. Kyle Kunnecke, of Los Angeles, began knitting when he was homesick. Now he attends men’s knitting retreats all over the country where he meets knitting truck drivers, teachers, waiters and businessmen. This year he won second prize…
Eternal Rest in Dodger Blue
September 7, 2009
As you shop around the L.A. County Fair, you may want to stop by the Forest Lawn booth in Fairplex 4. On display: a Dodger casket and a Dodger urn – for the true Dodger fan. Tasteful in white and Dodger Blue, the casket is subtle in its decoration. The urn is more decorative. The casket…

Had my first bite of Tasty Chips, those delicious hand-cut, homemade potato chips. With just the right amount of salt – ah, heaven! Thin slices of potatoes, fried to a perfect crispness (not too crisp). Served with dipping sauces – cheese, ketchup, ranch. On the side – seasoned salt, lemon juice and hot sauce. Way…

So, do get yourself here to the Fair. There’s a big crowd out here, but the more the merrier. You still have time to get out here and get tickets to Al Green and very special guests The Spinners tonight. While you are here this weekend, break out the light saber and head to the…
