Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
‘ When initially writing out “Martin Luther King Jr.” in the above title, I made a mistake, spelling his last name “Kind” instead of “King.” Talk about an apropos typo!

Granville Towers – Portia de Rossi’s Former Home
‘ I just recently finished reading Portia de Rossi’s new memoir Unbearable Lightness and I have to say that it was easily one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life! I literally could NOT put it down. The memoir is a harrowing account of the actress’ long-time eating disorder which…
