Forest Lawn Glendale

Friday, May 3rd, 2019

Although I had visited this cemetery back in 1995, I didn’t make my triumphant return until April 30, 2018. It’s a very important cemetery for Hollywood history and is packed to the rafters, er, the sod, with movie royalty. And yet I wasn’t really looking forward to tackling it again, because 1) the cemetery doesn’t want you taking pictures so you have to be sneaky, 2) the cemetery is not helpful in assisting with locating graves, 3) the cemetery is huge, and 4) the cemetery is exceptionally hilly. Nevertheless, with my friend Bob in tow – or rather towing me – we set out to conquer at least a smattering of these very important graves. We did fairly well considering most of them are flat with the earth and thus not easy to spot… which would explain why this group took part of one day (even if it was only about fifteen minutes) and then a second visit on May 2 when we spent another three hours and fifteen minutes.

We had had fun and good luck doing this the day before, and this day promised to continue the run. Wanting to capture virtually any sitcom location I could find for my Facebook Sitcom Kaleidoscope page, and being a big fan of The Brady Bunch, there were numerous cool sites related to that show on this day’s docket, beginning with the first one.  Read the rest of this entry »

The 2017 La La Land Sitcom Odyssey Part 1

Tuesday, February 20th, 2018

I’m pretty sure the Winter Hollywood Show in Los Angeles was earlier than it had ever been before, so consequently I was destined to take not one, but two vacations before I had even gotten out of the first month of 2017. The fun began on the morning of Wednesday, January 4, when I spring out of bed at 4:30, got showered and ready and left the house by 5:30. I picked up my Dad and drove to the Indianapolis airport, arriving by about 8am. Dad then took my car back to his house, and I waited for my 9:47am flight by eating some Aunite Anne’s in the airport.  Read the rest of this entry »
