INSANE! This week sucked. I don't think I have spent so much time in traffic in a one week time frame than I just did this past week. So let's see ... in a 5-day period there is 120 hours. Ok, Monday took me 2 hrs to get to work, then an hour going home, not so bad. Tuesday: 2 hrs going to work, 2 1/2 hrs to get to a dinner and then 1 hr going home. Wednesday: 2.5 hrs to work, 2 hrs to a small event and 2hrs home. Thursday: 2.5 hrs to work, 1hr to an event, 2 hrs home. Friday: 2 hrs to work, 2.5 hrs to an event, 2 hrs home ... so that is 27 hours on the road!! I spent about 23% of the week, almost 1/4, in traffic. LA sucks.Weekly Update:
Let the holidays begin! The past week was filled with events (as mentioned above) and this week looks like it will continue as such! It is funny when I look forward to NOT the events or where they are but ... when will I get to sleep in next time! And by that I mean past 9AM to like maybe 10AM, that would be incredibly nice. Hopefully this Satur... oh wait, I have an early morning event that day. I guess this being the time of year it is, it just happens. But some of the early morning stuff is for good causes so I do not mind. It is the Monday through Friday work part that I don't care for as of lately. But one thing is for sure, this month is already flying by so fast that the year will be over before we know it!!
At the movies:A overall sad looking weekend at the box office. The total dollar amount suffered an all time low as the new movies this week failed to spark any interest. In at #1 is the romantic-comedy New Year's Eve with 13.7 million for its debut. Also new at #2 is the raunchy comedy The Sitter with 10 mil. Dropping down to #3 is "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" with another 7.9 mil as it passes the 250 mil cume mark. Slight drop down to #4 is "The Muppets" with 7.1 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Arthur Christmas" with another 6.6 mil.

Another sad week in Hollywood as veteran actor Harry Morgan passed away Wednesday morning at his Los Angeles home. I know Morgan best for his iconic role of Sherman T. Potter from the award winning show "M*A*S*H" which was originally based on the movie of the same name. He came in about half way through the series replacing a character of the show, taking over the MASH 4077, one of many units throughout the Korean War which this sitcom was based on. Morgan has many other iconic TV as well as movie roles such as TV's "Dragnet" which he played Officer Bill Gannon, partner to Jack Webb's Sgt. Joe Friday. He appeared in many Westerns and had reoccurring roles in shows like "Love Boat" and "Gunsmoke" to name a few. When the TV show MASH ended in 1983, he was asked if working with the show's cast had made him a better actor. Morgan's reply: "I don't know about that, but it's made me a better human being." Morgan was 96.
