I had decided to use the headline either way for this history-making run by Tom Watson at becoming, among other things, the oldest golfer ever to win a major championship. The famous Sherlock Holmes quote was first used to describe Watson’s amazing skill on the links en route to claiming his first British Open Championship [...]
As we all know (or should know), July 19, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon. Kicking off the 40th anniversary year last summer was the enchanting 3D animated [...]
Well it’s really on now. In the shadow of the Prive’ fines, the Gaming Board has announced it is in full audit of around 9 venues in Las Vegas. This has the rest of the sheep nervous and the smaller clubs are starting to crack down. It will be very soon that we will all [...]
Las Vegas streets are becoming more and more difficult to travel. There is roadwork everywhere. The trouble is, many places that have been coned off never get worked on.
Lori Petty, a Venice local, has conquered the silver screen with her indelible performances like Kit Keller in “A League of Their Own” or Tank Girl in, well, “Tank Girl.” She dazzled on the small screen as well producing and starring in the tv hit “Lush Life” on Fox and made her mark on Broadway [...]

Manny Ramirez is back! Oh, you’ve known about this. I wasn’t so sure myself until Friday night. Manny hit a two-run shot in the sixth, his 536th overall, good enough to tie Mickey Mantle for 15th on the all-time list. Impressive. But it was not as impressive as the Dodgers’ team offense. In their series [...]
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find joy in travel these days. My wife recently went on a trip for two weeks from the Las Vegas Airport to Boise, Idaho. We bought the tickets online about a month in advance. She had decided to take our youngest with her, our fourth grader. All together they had [...]
Because I was born and raised in Los Angeles it was only natural that Las Vegas became my second home. In 2003 I came for a weekend and stayed for a year—producing the “Night Tribe” show at the Rio Hotel and Casino—I love Vegas. So, when my writing career went on to encompass blogging, I [...]
