Introducing my So Cal lifestyle site: Where We Live Work Play.com

April 4, 2015

Southern California is a wonderfully complex and often overwhelming place to live. My interests are varied and as a writer that presents a challenge because there’s only a limited amount of time each week to write. Business and entrepreneurs interest me, regional travel around So Cal is of interest to me, and so are topics […]

Here are recent and current projects: I started a blog called Best Value and anyone who wants to contribute may do so by getting in contact with me. I’m reviewing products, services, hotels, and anything else where we spend our time and money. I just did a review of a water slide and a trip […]

Pirates Beat Reds 10 – 7

April 14, 2013

My entry is focused on why I follow the Pirates even while living in So Cal. Thanks to the digital age, following a team from thousands of miles away is easier than ever. I’m from Pittsburgh and flocked to Three Rivers Stadium a few times each summer to catch a game when fans expected the […]
