All Diane Keaton had to do was ask! Several years ago, the Oscar-winning actress was the draw for a Palm Springs Preservation Foundation benefit. While autographing a copy of her book, California Romantica, for me, I expressed appreciation for her films, as…
A Guy Walks Into A Bar…
One never knows where a shaken martini at the Tower Bar at the art-deco gem, The Sunset Tower Hotel, will lead to! Last Friday evening as I sipped my libation, I overheard (some would label it eavesdropping) the woman standing next to me…
One Year Anniversary
A year ago next week, I published the first post to Tony’s Blog (original title, huh?). And, I have a couple of surprises in store to mark the occasion. But, first, you’ll have to read a brief recap of my take…
