Clearing my (psychic) clutter, Day 11: Cafe du Village, and the beauty of disposable goods as reward
I was hit by the blow of the decade last week: my beloved Café du Village, delicious, unpretentious and relatively reasonably-priced, indoor-outdoor French eatery on famed (and a wee too twee, but oh, well) Larchmont Boulevard, was getting the boot by the building’s owners.

Referral Friday: BLANKSPACES
Referral Friday is part of an ongoing series inspired by John Jantsch’s Make-a-Referral Week.

This is Day 15 of a 21-day effort to see the good in what might, at first, look like an irredeemable drag. Its name comes from a classic bit of dialogue uttered by actor Kevin Bacon in a classic film of my generation, Animal House. I did not start out here in Hollywood as a [...]
