Leave a comment. If you’re following the 2009 NBA playoffs, then you might know all but two of the teams have Gone Fishin’. Ironically, more Americans are literally going fishing for their summer vacations this year. Good news for Power Bait; bad news for Disney World. If you’re not familiar with the term Gone [...]

Leave a comment. It was a sunny Spring day in Downtown Los Angeles. It was one part cook-off and one part Renaissance Fair with a Wizard of Oz twist and Christopher Guest flair. It was a crisp, blustery afternoon filled with all the grilled cheese sandwiches imaginable… and unimaginable. It wasn’t quite heaven, [...]

Leave a comment. There are things in life that are terrible. Like pirates, taxes and hay fever. There are things in life that are good. Like saving money, hot tubs and Dodgers baseball. And there are things in life that are truly wonderful. Like family, friendship and whipped, spreadable butter. [...]
