It’s a “Wild Card” week for my Wordless Wednesday group, so it seems like the perfect time to get out in the wild and show you some of the scenery at our favorite place to hike, Wildwood Park.

The original Hollywood Wax Museum has occupied a prime spot on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, just east of Highland Avenue, for nearly fifty years, and is still owned and operated by the family who started it back in 1965. But this place is no dusty, stuffy relic of old-time show biz–visitors are encouraged to become part of the show here.

…do fictional Realtors from TV sitcoms get bus-bench ads like real-life Realtors do. Phil Dunphy’s bench, on Franklin Avenue east of Highland “Watch a new episode of Modern Family tonight on ABC!” If you want. Or DVR it and watch it later–that’s what I’ll do. Or watch something else.

This week’s Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday prompt is “Beach Reading.” Since I rarely go to the beach at all, and I do most of my reading indoors, I’m mixing things up a little… On a related note, I’m in the process of “beaching” a whole lot of books–in the “beached whale” sense. I’m winnowing the “to be read” collection of books that are probably not to be read after all, and clearing out the ones that […]

Tall Paul and I took a few extra days off for Thanksgiving (he’s still off, lucky guy!), and spent most of one of them checking out the views of the city and the stars–the sky kind, not the Hollywood kind–at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. This telescope is open to the public in the evenings. During daylight hours, it’s easier to see stars at one of the planetarium shows. You can take a tour […]
