Famous Cool

Ok....I have to admit that I am a closet hollywood junkie.  I don't know what I would do if I shared an elevator ride with a famous actor or actress.....probably just stare at the doors, afraid to start a conversation or say something incredibly stupid like "slow elevator huh....." with a goofy smile and leftover lunch stuck between my teeth (this is my own personal nightmare so just stay with me....).  I just found a new blog by Gwyneth Paltrow....www.goop.com.  As I read through the site and enjoy the newsletters, I find that her questions, concerns and care for her family are really the same as mine....pretty normal.....except she is staring in a blockbuster movie set for release, married to a superstar rocker, living in the UK and jet setting back and forth to the states.....yeah, the simularities are amazing!!!!

Burning Read

Ughhh.....so sorry for my hiatus.  How can I grow my blog visitors if I don't post on a regular basis?  Just a rhetorical question....no answers needed.  Well, I am back....for now.....and I have a great read to recommend.  Michael Connelly's 9 Dragons, his newest Harry Bosch series.  Great, entertaining, twist at the end (quick) read that you will blow through in a weekend (so don't pay full price.....).

Harry Bosch is a L.A. police detective who carries as many demons around as the criminals that he puts behind bars.  I have enjoyed other Connelly novels through the years, but the Bosch series include my favorite characters (some familiar folks show up in this story as well and some new that I expect will crop back up again in another novel or two).

The story is set in L.A. and Hong Kong with Harry chasing an Asian Triad....be ready for the twist!!!

Enjoy.....
