Three Stooges Fest 2018

And it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without going to the Three Stooges Festival with the gang.  We go every year and it's always a highlight to our holiday.  Thanks for the laughs.

Descanso Gardens 2018

We dropped Mom off at the train station and decided to walk off some turkey at Descanso Gardens.  It was a perfect day to take a stroll.

Photo Shoot with the Hernandez Family

What a fun tradition - a Christmas Photo Shoot with the Hernandez family.  We take goofy pictures and then go out to dinner afterwards.  Always a good time with our dear friends.

Aaron was out of town so he phoned it in...

Thanksgiving 2018

Had a lovely Thanksgiving breakfast at Uncle Bob's house...

We had brunch then went to the movies and saw "A Star Is Born" (loved!) and then home for dinner.  We were so full from breakfast that we ate a small plate at 7:00.  The next day we went full bore and had a huge meal.  

After seeing "A Star Is Born" we walked around the Americana.  It's in full Christmas glory.  

Posing with my superstar, Zuri.

GAV comes to LA

Had breakfast with our dear friend Gav.  Hadn't seen him in years, doesn't matter, we're always connected no matter the miles or amount of time...

Here's a picture of what we were planning over breakfast - I did a Skype voiceover casting workshop with Gav's class in Ohio at the Columbus School of Art and Design.  Love the modern world...

Speed Dating with your Demo at the Sova's

It's was fun to see friends and co-workers at the Society of Voiceover Arts and Sciences event this weekend.  I did an event called "Speed Dating with your Demo" where every 4 minutes a new actor sits in front of you, you listen to their demo and give them comments.  I met 17 actors in 1 1/2 hours.  Whew!  Lot's of talent out there.

Animation VO Workshop

Rome (L.A.) may be burning but the show must go on...
A couple of the students couldn't come to the workshop because of the fires but we still had a good time.

And then I wake up this morning to a fire in our park...

I'm beyond sad to say that our mountains went up in smoke and we lost many of our most treasured hiking spots.  Here's a picture of Malibu State Park before it was reduced to rubble and ash.  I'm going to really miss this park as I've been going since I was a kid...

Happy Halloween 2018
