Various types of art have the capacity to bring forth many types of emotions. Mobile art, in particular, can be described as happy, fun and magical. It suits all ages but its quite plausible that the initial image could be that of a mobile positioned over a babies crib, perhaps symbolizes ones earliest exposure to art itself. In the genre of art, where stagnant creations often dominate, Alexander Calder stands as a pioneer who challenged conventionality by introducing movement and dynamism into his sculptures. Renowned for his innovative...

Yes, nearly 60 years after discovering “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” I still watch the classic sitcom; but some of the punchlines haven’t held up particularly well. Or maybe I’m the one who hasn’t held up so well. You may recall that gag writer Buddy Sorrell (played by Morey Amsterdam) always made longsuffering “Alan Brady Show” producer Mel Cooley the foil of his rapid-fire baldness jokes. The zingers were HI-larious -- until my early thirties when I abruptly discovered that my luxurious hai...

Returning to Los Angeles for a visit after residing in a small town is akin to plunging into an icy bath – simultaneously shocking, invigorating, and slightly stinging. It’s arguable that big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago each possess their pros and cons. However, in this article, we’ll focus on the positive aspects of Los Angeles.

I realize such headgear has fallen out of style in our self-esteem-obsessed culture, but maybe I should belatedly don a dunce cap. You see, one of my first columns (nearly 25 years ago) was a snarky dismissal of the nascent homeschooling movement. I know at least two nice families who are homeschooling this year, so I wish to offer my apologies. Granted, I, my wife, our son, our parents and our siblings were all products of the traditional public school system. (I didn’t use the term ...
