An Unexpected Night in Cabo San Lucas

October 1, 2021 by Dave2 Comments

The rooftop edges over dramatically - at its most precipitous drop, one would fall maybe 10 feet if they weren't careful. There is no railing guarding the edge of the roof leading to the steps to the lower level. But one afternoon a gentleman showed up with his portable welder and began welding together a metal railing before ultimately installing it. We began chatting - his initial questions were about politics. Always a hook conversation … [Read more...]

Los Alamos, California – September 2021

September 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

Los Alamos (population approximately 1,900). Sometimes, even in such a populated state as California one finds little windows into both the past and the present. Located 2 hours north of downtown Los Angeles, this tiny town is one such destination. It remains rooted in its history yet fully embraces the contemporary. Charming in its visual appeal, the town encompasses some 7 blocks of restaurants, wine tasting rooms, several hotels, antiques … [Read more...]

The Ultimate BMW Driving Experience

August 1, 2021 by Dave9 Comments

Ever wondered what it would be like to sit behind the wheel of a high performance vehicle and try to reach both your limits as a driver and the limits of the car? Idling in traffic on the 110 is certainly no place to test out your character and comfort levels as a driver - and certainly no place for an automobile to fully perform at its engineered capabilities. But we have found a place where you can - the BMW High Performance Center in Thermal, … [Read more...]

See, Shop, Eat in Los Angeles – Insider’s Guide by Daniel Will Harris

July 27, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

When most people think of LA, the very first thing that comes into mind is Hollywood and celebrities. That is a stereotypical way to sum up LA because Hollywood is actually a very small part of a larger whole. As an actor, Daniel Will Harris has been in many movie studios. If you are visiting from out of state or abroad, Daniel recommends Warner Brothers Studio Tour.  Unlike Universal, which is literally a theme park with very loud buses that … [Read more...]

When it Comes to Writing, All you Need is Nothing: Just Write it, then Write the Next Thing! Go Inside the Mind of the Talented Daniel Will Harris

July 13, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

It was a spring Sunday morning in 2010, a white Mazda MX-5 convertible pulled up to a curb outside my hostel in North Beach, San Francisco. On the driver's seat was Daniel Will Harris. Daniel is an actor, author, creative writer and a writing coach. I was young and free-spirited. I had my heart set on meeting all the wonderful people in the world. Riding shotgun with a Hollywood actor and having him as my tour guide had flattered me beyond words. … [Read more...]

Escape to Bodega Bay

April 13, 2021 by Angela Matano2 Comments

Moving from Los Angeles to the tiny town of Mendocino (population 855) turned out to be one of the most unusual decisions I have ever made. The natural beauty and tranquility act like a balm to the world’s troubles (politics! fires!), but, it should come as little surprise, meeting people while masked up and social distancing has proven difficult. On the other hand, as the world opens up a bit, traveling in both Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, … [Read more...]

China Ranch Date Farm & Bakery – April 2021

April 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

Most likely the most northern commercial date farm in the state of California - this remote ranch is well worth making the trek out to buy delicious dates (some 1,500 trees and 20 varieties). Located about 90 minutes from Las Vegas and 4 hours from Los Angeles. The property has a fascinating history - settled by a Chinese man who came here pre-1900 after working the Borax mines in Death Valley. He mysteriously disappeared (probably forcibly run … [Read more...]
