I’ll Eat To That
Travel diaries, food porn, random rants, and various musings about stuff that I feel like musing about.

TYOLD Day 91: Sharing My Story
April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month and so for my Differently today, I'm going to give you a recap of my story in dealing with the disease. I'm hoping that you will share it, forward it, like it, Tweet it, Pinterest it, Instagram it, or whatever the hell else...
TYOLD Day 90: Look at the Flowers, Lizzie
As mark the 90th day of The Year of Living Differently - three months of this! - I decided my Differently should be doing something nice for myself. In thinking about what, I realized that I have bought flowers for others many times and I have received flowers...
TYOLD Day 89: Block Party
My new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles, Warren's Blackboard, had a "block party" today, where they basically converted the front drive of the Beverly Garland Hotel into a party space and had wine, craft beers, and a several of Chef Warren's specialties to taste -...
TYOLD Day 88: YouTubery
I have no idea why I did this, but I guess in the land of Differently you must have those moments when you look like an idiot. Here is mine.
TYOLD Day 87: American Horror Story
Tonight was the closing of the PaleyFest and what better way to wrap it up than with what I consider to be the most inventive, original, disturbing, weird, and wonderful shows on the air: American Horror Story: Coven. I was giddy about this show all season - it was,...
TYOLD Day 86: Disappointment, Thy Name is Cupcake
I was craving a cupcake today. Okay, I crave cupcakes all the time, but I don't always do anything about it. Part of it is because I know if I had a cupcake every time I wanted a cupcake I'd weigh roughly the equivalent of a compact Japanese car, but beyond that I...
TYOLD Day 85: Quilt as Art
I've never really done much with the places I live in terms of what you might call decor. I like things simple and clean - furniture with drawers and doors to hide the clutter and little on the walls other than a few Vegas related bits of color. Since I have lived in...
TYOLD Day 84: The Quilt
For several years, my friend Mary and I went on road trips that we called Plucky Survivors See America. We did four of them, first in 2006 through Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Alabama. Next in 2007 we did the Midwest with Illinois,...
TYOLD Day 83: Boost
Today's Differently is kind of lame, but I have a good excuse. I wasn't feeling great - I was thinking I had a cold coming on - and I had worked all weekend and was facing a very long day on this Monday (which turned out to be almost 13 hours in the office). So the...
TYOLD Day 82: Where Kimberly & Giles Lived
Took a little drive today to the Los Feliz area of LA, about 10 miles from where I live to get a picture of a building that factored heavily into not one, but two of my all-time favorite TV shows. The most obvious is Melrose Place, of course, that 1990s camp fest that...

The Year of Living With Cancer
In 2012, I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. To help myself cope with it, I wrote about it. A lot. And yes, the picture of Angela and Jordan will make sense at some point if you read enough.
The Year of Living Differently
After cancer, I decided to try to mix things up and do something different every single day for a year. Did I make it?
50 for 50 by 50
To celebrate, or perhaps to distract myself from, my impending 50th birthday in 2016, I embarked on a project to give $50 to 50 different charities by the time I turned 50.
