See the picture of the dolphin springing forward at the Dana Point Whale Festival this weekend? That's what you must do! On Sunday morning, March 11 after 2 a.m., all Californians must turn their clocks, watches, cell phones,  microwaves, car clocks and portable devices forward one hour for Daylight Savings. If you're looking at a clock right now, imaging moving that dial forward one hour. It's going to be darker in the morning and lighter at night than it currently is. It's great for watching sunsets! There was an odd feeling ...

If you tell me you're bored this weekend, I want to know what kind of cactus juice you've been drinking out in that lonesome desert. California doesn't break for fall or winter, and in fact, many plan their events in October because the venues are more readily available and it's assumed that people will be around rather than on vacation. Below is a sampling of what's happening this weekend, and this doesn't take into account every amusement park offering their Halloween scares. There's no prominent theme we could determine in ...

The last weekend in July 2011 if filled with excitement. We took a free tour of the USS Abraham Lincoln during Navy Week to launch our weekend of fun.

Jerry Brown has taken the helm as governor of California and is taking a no-nonsense approach to running the shop, though we kind of miss Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver ads on TV telling everyone to come to C-a-l-i-f-o-r-n-i-a.  It was the best of times--and the worst of times, apparently. California's in the hole by billions, my city's in the hole by millions, the U.S. is in the hole by trillions, and Amazon cut off my affiliate account since I live in the Golden State. What did we poor taxpayers ...
