Oh Liz ! I love hearing about Cali . Have you been to Mulholland Drive ?[ I love the movie by the way , dark, weird , different ] I want to visit there some day
We are starting to do more stuff now that the boys are older . We went to a taping of the Maury show just for the hell of it and had a great time
Ok I'm back in your honor I just opened my door to look at Mullholland Drive! I have a great view! On a clear day it's really cool at night you can see all the lights from the
MANSIONS!!!! When I was a teen it was a huge make out spot
Now they have gates and bars between us.
5 blocks from Laurel Canyon- lots of money there and well know musicians.
And in the other direction is Topanga Canyon. It still has a cool vibe. In the 60's and 70's it was a haven for musicians I still love. Cass Elliot (Mama Cass) had David Crosby and the boys over for a jam.. They left thier side projects and Crosby Stills Nash was born. Joni Mitchell (my favorite chick singer/sonwriter) was there, she wrote her album "Ladies of the Canyon" And btw had her pick of
ANY male musician she wanted and did. James Taylor lived there, Carly Simon, etc. etc. etc.
Sometimes after work I'd take a drive thru Mullholland drive, round round and down to
THE VALLEY peaceful and beautiful!!!
BTW- you can reach the Ocean thru any of these routes!
Let me know when your coming back, you don't have to pay for a hotel, or meals!!
And Judy- Ya you're not wrong about your post. I'm glad I'm in my 40's I still look pretty good but the compatition to look perfect is soo out of control!
Northern CA is great, it's almost like another state though. They hate us there lol! Did you hit San Francisco Judy??
