I started watching the original CSI for the first time a while back to scratch the procedural itch.
It’s good but the most fun part has been seeing all the appearances by very young people who are now extremely famous. For example: Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber (different episodes.)

I have taken a buyout from the LATimes. Today is my last day. To be able to have worked for a company for 20 years and think of that time as (mostly) pretty darn great and filled with pride as well as being able to leave on my own terms without regrets is a rarity I don’t take lightly. Onward!

I started working at the LA Times 20 years ago today. My hair is grayer after two decades working in media.
LAT is a mighty force and regardless of upheaval in the past, present or future, I am proud of what I’ve done at and with the Times.

When I walked in the bathroom and saw Ramona Quimby like this my brain immediately thought “God is in the tub.” Those TWoP catchphrases are like song lyrics, they never go away…

Ramona Quimby says time for bed (though she’d say that at almost any time of day other than meal time. But this time she’s right.)

You have to zoom in to see most of the cats displayed on this wall. The one you can see without zoom isn’t supposed to be there.
