California Here I Come



On my way to California for a Toyota Design Seminar. It's been a long time since I've flown into John Wayne. I'm super excited, both for the seminar and because I'm hoping to meet Jean from NotCot.

Southern California is where I was born. And it always feels comfortable to me.

my favorite thing when flying home to so cal is walking out of LAX and smelling the ocean. i LOVE IT!! don't know how it smells out of john wayne, but it isn't that far from some of the greatest beaches in so cal. take a breath for me. and somehow send it over to NC.:) do not forget to eat at in-n-out.

I was honored to see my John Wayne Airport photo on your blog, Design Mom! I was in Irvine last year for a mystery fan conference--I write crime thriller novels--and was taken by the coolness of the design of JWA. The huge windows, the barrel ceiling ... classy stuff. Even the restaurant lighing is funky/chic. (For a few others pix, go to my website, click on My Photo Album, and look in the Men of Mystery tab, which has pictures from the conference, including some JWA shots I really like.) Again, thanks for including my photo. It was fun to see.

You're definitely exposing me to a whole new side of the net i haven't properly read up on before!

See you at breakfast
