The 2017 La La Land Sitcom Odyssey Part 2

Friday, February 23rd, 2018

Bob and I got up on the morning of Thursday, January 5, 2018, grabbed some good ol’ continental breakfast in our fancy Hollywood Super 8 Motel, and then continued our quest of finding a smattering of sitcom locations in the Los Angeles area. 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 »

So these winter trips to California… old hat by now? Not by a long shot. There’s just so much to see and do, and with a little planning beforehand, it’s possible to keep busy and enjoy myself every minute of every trip.

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 »

The day after Thanksgiving 2016, my Dad and I embarked on our second WrestleCade road trip. This time we decided to add an extra day and an extra location to visit. Dad had long talked about going back to check out Fort Bragg and nearby Fayetteville where he had been stationed during his Army days. It worked out that I had enough vacation time remaining for the year so that I could take two days off instead of one, so I mapped it out so that we could check out the base. We left the morning of Friday, November 25, this time planning to travel all the way to the Winston-Salem, North Carolina vicinity where WrestleCade would be held.  Read the rest of this entry »
