Still Surviving L.A.

We'd like to take this opportunity to dispel the cruel rumors spread across unsavory tabloids and unscrupulous blogs - we are, in fact, still surviving L.A.!

Like a good HBO series, there was a nice hiatus for the Surviving L.A. series. I know it was quite a cliff hanger, keeping you wondering if contract negotiations or a writer's strike had taken us the way of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (Still bitter). But I am pleased to say we are still going strong, just in some reruns as to the more exciting highlights of our first three years here - Magic Castle, Magic Mountain and Richard's magical ability to know that we have run into someone famous, but not know who they actually are. (For the record, the three most recent sightings were Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chelsea Handler and Marky Mark sans funky bunch.)

But a lot has happened in the last 18 months and we're putting together a new list of fun local activities to try - come visit and join in some of them! AJ's learning to dance with fire, Vega's been checking out the waterfalls in Los Angeles and Richard's new job now has him as CIO of 2 wineries.....how bad can that be?

Like a series that has been going long and strong and needs a new character in the mix, we may be making a liberal interpretation of the term "Greater Los Angeles Area" in lieu of adding a new cute kid - but I hope the adventures will be good into this season as in the past to enthrall the 3 readers who have mentioned missing this blog.
