Having so much fun taking pictures of our new home!  It’s so beautiful up here, and there are so many great sights!

Highlights from Sara and my trip to WrestleMania 31 in San Jose.  You can read (or at least skim) my weekend recap on Secret Hidden Lair.

In case you haven’t already heard, I’ve launched a new, geek-focused site called “Secret Hidden Lair”.  It’s an outlet for me to talk comic books, movies, TV, and wrestling.  Check it out at http://secrethiddenlair.com.

Goodbye, LA Times...

As many of you may already know, Sara and I are leaving the LA Times, with tomorrow officially our last day.

I've been here a little more than eight years, she a little under five, and will leave with many wonderful memories of our time here (even beyond, you know, meeting each other, falling in love, and getting married).

I know I speak for both of us when I say we will always treasure the friends we have made and the invaluable life and career lessons we have learned as part of the LA Times. And we are excited to take those learnings with us into the new adventures that lie ahead.

Cheers!

The #BestBirthdayEver really kicked off with a double bill at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Ben Folds and Elvis Costello.  Great show, beautiful night, wonderful time thanks to Sara (who put it all together).

Welcome to the world, nephew #2! The adorable Evan Jasper Dellinger (son of Steve and Theresa, first of his name, etcetera and so forth...).

This sounds terribly familiar...

Maybe because I've been saying something similar for the last decade-plus?

See: "The Pitchforks Are Coming...For Us Plutocrats"

The most ironic thing about rising inequality is how completely unnecessary and self-defeating it is. If we do something about it, if we adjust our policies in the way that, say, Franklin D. Roosevelt did during the Great Depression—so that we help the 99 percent and preempt the revolutionaries and crazies, the ones with the pitchforks—that will be the best thing possible for us rich folks, too.

Lede of the Week

From the A.V. Club story about Queen Elizabeth's visit to the "Game of Thrones" set:

Magnetically drawn to thrones whose power is solely symbolic, Queen Elizabeth II visited another prop monarchy—one that similarly enthralls millions who are mostly in it for the sex—by dropping by the Belfast set of Game Of Thrones.

Sherlock and the art of the Shouty Pacino

Who knew the little man was so good at impressions? 

This level of ability puts me and Velosa to shame...

NOTE: He's doing the pissed-off rant from the end of Glengarry Glen Ross, so you may way want to turn your speakers down.

Three simple rules...

1. Never underestimate your opponent.  Expect the unexpected!

2. Take it outside.

3. Be nice...until it's time to NOT be nice.
