On my way to work this morning, I endured the typical frustrations of driving in Southern California traffic. The cement, garbage, 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks were lined up four abreast. In addition, there were the usual assortment of cars and pickups traveling at a rate 10 to 15 miles under the speed limit and leaving huge gaps, sometimes a quarter mile — between them and the next vehicle.

Roland DG is a Japanese company. While the name doesn't sound like it, it actually is.

Había bastantes artículos en blanco, incluyendo camisetas, gorros, bolsas, chaquetas, suéteres y vestimenta deportiva; pero también había un pabellón lleno de pantuflas, y uno lleno de ropa para perros.

I enjoy going to the movies, sitting in a large, dark theater, and being carried away by the music, sound effects and imagery. It's even more fun when you know a little about how the movie was made and the people involved.

Esta es la época del año en la que todos parecen tener una lista de algo: mejores libros, mejores películas, e incluso los perros mejor vestidos de los famosos... Bueno, ¡usted ya se hizo la idea! Muchas de estas listas parecen bastante arbitrarias, pero me hicieron reflexionar sobre el año pasado y darme cuenta de que estuvimos bastante ocupados.

That's something you'll never really hear me say. Season's Greetings. Yuck. It's right up there with yellow smiley faces and "Have a nice day."
