Dispatches from the City of Angels
I'm a writer and humorist living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my novel LOSING CLEMENTINE out March 6 from William Morrow. In the meantime, feel free to poke around. Over at my website you can find even more blog entries than I could fit here, as well as a few other ramblings. Enjoy and come back often.

NYC:Day1
Day 1 in NYC down. I've learned a few things.
Over on my website I've posted a gallery of Day 1 photos. Check it out.
Twice in my life I've found myself fleeing a burning building. In neither instance did I move as quickly as your average New Yorker walking down the street. I believe there is an excellent chance I'll be trampled to death here.
Smiling at strangers on the street and saying hello for no particular reason is fun here. They don't expect it. Throws them off their game. One guy walked into a wall.
Everyone calls me "ma'am." I'm choosing to believe this is some sort of folksy New England tradition and not that I've suddenly aged 30 years.
I like clam chowder.
Landing at JFK looks a lot like landing in, say, Madison, Wisconsin.
Everyone in New York dresses up. Everyone in L.A. dresses down.
