Today at Graystone Park in Beverly Hills – at the edge of the parking lot....

The famous (not really) Cactus Man of Mulholland Drive.  He’s up above the Hollywood Hills to remind everyone if it had not been for William Mulholland, one amazing engineer, all of Los Angeles would be the desert Los Angeles is supposed to be.  As it is we got most of Northern California’s water, sucked the Colorado River dry, drained Mono Lake, devastated the Central Valley, and thus it is rather pleasant here.  And Cactus Man looks rather jaunty, doesn’t he?

Stare at the pool below the office window.  Empty your mind.  Generate alpha waves.  Accept the world as it is.  Listen for one hand clapping.  Sip single-malt scotch.

The sunrises still look like this from outside my window – and down in Palos Verdes, a mile or two north of the Port of Los Angeles, the lighthouse still stands.
