Last saturday, I took my wife out, a little break from G - 2 years and on top of it can wear on ya... y'know.

We are all good, head down to Carlsbad, figuring there has got to be some good food (I shall say, that I have a hard time qualifying food online, reviews just don't do it for me). So we drive around a bit and I keep passing this one place - Fresco -...

Can I just say that I fairly picky, and I spent a long time behind the scenes in some nice Skandinavian eateries (yes, Danish is a nationality and we are famous for our pastries).

So - back to Fresco... This place was Phe-No-Me-Nal!!! Start it off with the service, impeccable, on time, but not hovering, I am not a bad tipper, but that night, I left it out there.

The food - I had the special, a stuffed chop on the bone, it looked fantastic when it came in and the flavors we are just amazing.
What about my wife? Ah, she LOVES her Chiopino soup, so when she saw that on the menu, she was sold... Then she was a bit surprised to see that they replaced all the fish with a lobster... Shall we say that was a pleasant surprise to say the least, and the flavors again was fantastic.

Finally, we tried out the homemade Tiramisu (remember - I am picky - and I KNOW what this tastes like in the old world - not many get this one right), They got it.

All I can say, is that if you are going to Carlsbad, this place has to be on your list.

Bon Appetit.

Veterans Day is here again.

To me this is a day to Remember and Honor those who served and those who fell in the service to give us the freedom to think and do anything we want

I was thinking about putting music to this, but in my heart, I hear the last post played on a single horn, the tones ringing into a cold night, I for one can not think of any other music to set to this - so play it in your mind, and please take a moment and join me in remebering and honoring our brothers and sisters in arms.

Thank You!

and yes, my words got cut out when I posted this, so you will have them now

Welcome to the new week. Ya, I'll admit it, slow going this am, G is waking up in a few and I just want to make sure you hear from me.

I thought I didn't have anything to write about, but, what do you know... Remeber where the pumpkin patch is (was) on Murrieta Hotsprings and Winchester Rd? I drove by there, and my son said "pumpkin patch gone"... Keep in mind that he is 28 months, so if he is not formulated like an international correspondent of the NYT - it's ok.

It did however make me look twice - the pumpkins are gone - but the structure, tents and a lot of the business seems to remain in place. I think I know where the x-mas trees are coming from.

This morning I just finished my new utilities sheet, it has a LOT of local information you need if you are moving. I got tired of those handwritten notes with this and that number, this looks great and is useful.

Looking back at the weekend, the harvest festival in wine country looks like it was a huge success, this is the third annual and from what I can tell, every one who participated (hey, someone has to stomp those grapes - so all of them), was packed to roof beams.

That's it for today, have a great week, hit me up if you need anything.

Did you know, this weekend is the 3rd Annual Harvest Festival & Grape Stomp in Temecula, CA.

To get into wine country, simply get off the 15 at Rancho California, turn your headlights East and start driving, after a few miles you will pass Vintage hill on your right and Chardonnay hill on your left (if that gives you any clues as to where you are going), when you pass Butterfield Stage Rd, you will see the entrance to Wine Country - Keep going and the Wineries literally start popping up all over.

Most all the wineries that I know of are participating. Expect to make reservations as they tend to be packed for this opportunity to get your feet dirty (or to walk in wine if you so desire), grape stomping is a big part of the festival and this can be quite entertaining.

Enjoy, and say hello when you go by.

Hi Folks,

As you know, I do a lot of video, and so does other people... Yesterday I had the pleasure of having lunch with Barbara Amstadter and her daugter Susi Scholl, they are a luxury agent team in Newport Beach CA. We were talking a bit about short sales, and Barbara whipped out her little video camera, so here I am on interview.

As you know I am a proponent of short sales, I believe the sellers win by not giving it all up and just tanking their credit, and this little interview tells you a few things about how the short sale can help us accomplish that.

Enjoy, and if you need additional information, please find me.
