Life is all about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Since my girlfriend and I are both teachers, we have the whole summer off and decided to go on our most extravagant vacation yet- cliff jumping. We have been planning this trip since the start of the school year. We have cliff jumped once …

Los Angeles, also known as the City of Angels, is where you can find me on a cool afternoon in the summertime. But this time we are planning something a little different. Instead of walking down Melrose avenue and taking my girlfriend shopping at The Grove, we are deciding to attend the trade show. I …

It’s that time of year when the ties come out in numbers.  Lots of dads like ties, and for my dad it is a sure bet.  He gets a tie for Father’s Day.  I also will throw in a tie on his birthday of course with his new socks.  I usually get the ties from …

  Getting the gift you want is not rocket science, at least it is not anymore for me.  Ever since I download the Penless App it is easy to save things I see in the store or on the web onto the Penless cloud to be viewed later by me on my mobile phone.  And …

I have spent a lot of time at the Getty Museum.  By America’s standards, it is a good Museum.   In fact the insider ranks the Getty in the top five of Museums in the U.S.  It has two locations in the Los Angeles area and I recommend both.  They are totally different experiences.  The Greek …

Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday” as some would call it, is celebrated in New Orleans and is always the day before Ash Wednesday.  In fact, it is still celebrated as a legal holiday in Louisiana.  It is the most popular time to visit New Orleans.  Mardi Gras has been celebrated since the 1730’s but it …

Christmas Day is finally here!  Many homes have had Christmas trees and other decorations in the weeks leading up to today.  It is a time when children get excited to get presents from Santa and cards are sent prior to Christmas day.  It is a day where traditions and customs have been around for centuries. …

  I am not going to mince words, I am not a good shopper.  Nor do I enjoy it.  When I heard of the Penless app  last year, with the Wish List feature, I was thrilled.  I told many of my friends who did not already have the app what a time saver this feature …

Have you ever solved a Rubik’s Cube?  If you are like most of us, probably not.  Of course, there are many people who actually have and are pretty quick at it.  In 1982, when the first speed cubing competition was held, the winner solved the Cube in 22.95 seconds. By 2003, the world record dropped …

Like many of us, it is hard to figure out what to get others for gifts.  This is why one of my favorite features of the Penless app is the Wish List. Since I do not enjoy browsing in stores and shopping, the Wish list made my life much easier.  I have a lot of birthdays …
