In that spirit…here’s an E! Channel clip from back in October. Enjoy.

ALSO make sure and come by  my workshop 3:30-5PM, “A Sense of Place.” It is FREE and in it, I will tell you exactly how to get out of your office job and have the coolest/funnest/travelingest job in the world. Yes, I’ll even tell you how to get to the point where you can make up your own words.  (It takes years and lots of skillz, but it can be done.)

Here’s the link to the Fair. (In case  you’re wondering, the worshop is in the Writing Room.)

Also,  Orbitz blogged about it because they are RAD.

And, That Morning Show also plugged it because they are seeming to be pretty rad too!

I hope to see you there!

I talked about wine country travel. In particular, Napa, Paso Robles and the wonderful Eastern Canadian province of Quebec. I didn’t get to talk about nearly as much as I wanted to, so I also gave ‘em a whole supplemental blog with hotel picks and wineries and whatnot. Hopefully they will post.

I will have a clip soon. Don’t u worry…

(Teaser: I just finished another three sections for an upcoming Brides travel section which will go unnamed for now…stay tuned for more details.)

(Disclaimer: My version suggested a free tour of historic churches, ending in the town square. NOT a once-a-week paid walking tour of private homes. I think a new editor slipped that in there so she could feel she’d made her mark.)

Thanks to my editor Abigail for giving me the slot at the 11th hour, so I could alert LA locals to the parks’ budgetary situation and showcase some of the landmarks on the closure list. All of them are still in danger of closing within the next couple of years,  thanks to the incompetent machinations of our state government & bureaucracy.

Regardless of whether you like scary movies or not (I don’t), it’s so easy to tell that Isabelle is a star in the making.  And her family’s making sure she stays sweet and down-to-earth, regardless of paparazzi stalking and red carpet moments with Robert Downey Jr. (Yes, I’m jealous.)

Check out Isabelle’s awesome press here and here , and see the Access Hollywood clip here.

I will be taking Elina on a much-needed spa getaway tomorrow–woot!! All the rest of y’all…go see Orphan rightnow!!

This is a great blog for all bookworms, intellectual snobs, and people too ADD to watch television. I have therefore added it to my blog roll, so we can keep up w/Ron’s author friends without having to constantly ponder, “Okay, I know that blog is named after a woman, but what is it again?? Hm…”
