A Busy Day – Bagels, Bikes & Bjorn

To lift your spirits a little after 9/11 I’m giving you some alliteration and a chronicle of the busy but amazing day I had last week. Only I could have bagels, bikes and Bjorn packed into a Sunday. It was a pretty fabulous day from start to finish!

Bagels:

Since moving to Los Angeles, my family has been on the quest for a good bagel. I’m sorry LA, you win with the weather but your bagels are just plain lousy. Jay has been schlepping suitcases full of Brooklyn bagels to LA with every business trip (nearly tipping the scales at the over 50 lbs mark more than a few times).

After talking about it for some time, Jay finally decided to try to roll the dice and attempt make his own bagels. The results were surprising! If you want to find out if water really is the all important ingredient, see Jay’s blog post.

Grunge rock was definitely the thing in the ’90’s and Kurt Cobain was the definitely the man leading the charge. I was sad when he committed suicide but I wasn’t unhappy that his band’s music was over (although not ’90’s related, I do like the Foo Fighters). However, I was most definitely a Pearl Jam fan! […]

Even Eminem Loves 80's Music

So it’s absolutely no secret that I have a little fascination with 80’s music but I do listen to current music too. Since moving to LA, I spend a lot of time in my car listening to the radio. I kind of love it because not only do I get […]

Today’s pick is “Election Day” by Arcadia. […]

Tunes For Tuesday (80's Edition) – APB

Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday (80’s Edition) – it’s August so we’re going 80’s!

If you grew up in New York City in the 1980’s and listened to New Wave music, you knew the group APB. A punk type band from Scotland with incredibly funky bass lines, this was the band you waited for the DJ to play at a club! […]
