“Ant-Man” and a UC Santa Cruz alum.

I’m not an action movie fan, usually.  I liked Robert Downey, Jr. in “IRON MAN” but that was as far as my fascination went… until I heard that Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas were cast in “ANT–MAN” by Marvel Studios. “ANT-MAN” delivered, and the audience loved it.  Because AXEL ALONSO is a graduate of UC…

Malcolm Warner is an elegant Brit who came to Laguna Beach, CA to run their art museum … and is finding his way into the hearts of the locals.

Congrats to a long-time friend.

A Door Attendant from Rhode Island.

“Did someone here go to RISD?” Nicholas, the door attendant at The Ritz-Carlton in Rancho Mirage asked. For a second I wondered why he asked. Then I saw the black & white logo tote bag I’d brought, hanging in the back of Vin’s car. “My daughter did,” I volunteered.  “And I’m a Trustee.” He nodded….
