Blog: I Would Rather Be in Pennsylvania (Actually King of Prussia, Penn.)

I am actually traveling to Pennsylvania this weekend (actually to King of Prussia, PA) to attend the Philadelphia Inquirer Travel Show. Get your FREE tickets for the show.

And An Offer For Free Tickets!

In a 1925 Vanity Fair article W.C. Fields joked that his tombstone should have the epitaph “Here lies W. C. Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia.” W.C. Fields is actually buried in Forest Lawn in California and his gravestone actually simply reads “W. C. Fields 1880 – 1946″.

I will not voice an opinion about W.C. Fields birthplace. And while I am not moving to Philadelphia I am actually traveling there this weekend (actually to King of Prussia, Penn.) to attend the Philadelphia Inquirer Travel Show (www.inquirertravelshow.com).  More importantly I have been invited to speak at the show and will be giving a presentation called “Top 10 Things You Need To Know When Planning Your African Safari.”

Africa is on everyone’s bucket list but many people hesitate because of fear, misinformation or myths about what to expect. My talk is going to help de-bunk some of those myths and provide information so that people will agree with me that “Someday” Is Now!

If you or someone you know is in the area and would like to come to the show here is how to get free tickets to the show

Go to the website (http://www.inquirertravelshow.com),

Click “Get Tickets” and enter code “SAF13” for your free tickets.

If this is a photo of Studio City in the banner up there, then it's a beautiful place. My mom wasRead More raised in Hollywood, and I grew up in Long Beach. The trees are really lush in that pic!

Born of the 4th of July and Johnny Got His Gun are definitely not movies honoring our veterans.

With all due respect, Mr. Ortiz, I'm curious about how much you sell the puppies for, do you screenRead More the potential buyers, do you take back a dog if the buyer can no longer care for it, what happens to those dogs that are not bought? I ask these questions because I volunteer at animal shelters and often see purebred dogs being dumped by people who say they cannot commit to the pet. In fact, a purebred Dachshund was recently dumped at the South L.A. shelter. When unwanted dogs and cats are abandoned at shelters and they become overcrowded, innocent animals are being killed to make room. I also recently met two people who "rescued" their dogs from breeders who determined that a puppy from a litter was "not perfect" and could not be shown or used for breeding. One puppy was taken to a vet to be put down, but the vet would not do it and instead gave it to a couple he knew would care for it. The other dog was simply given away, thankfully to a person who is caring and adores the dog. The puppies you are advertising are adorable and I hope they go to loving, responsible, committed people. I also hope you understand where I am coming from and why I urge people to adopt a pet from a shelter. I stand by the slogan "Adopt, don't shop."

I agree that we should take care of all men and women who have served in the military, and theirRead More families, too - War, we know, is hell, and those who choose to serve should be given the utmost respect and resources while serving and after they have completed their service. Decent wages, benefits and especially care that is needed years after they are through serving. I would like to see our local posts provide outreach and advocacy for those who return from service. God bless all our service men, women and veterans...and may those who have lost their lives in military service to the USA and world be with God.

I wish the media had countered Garcetti's claims with an examination of the facts and had exposedRead More his relationship with BIG development. Only the LA Weekly covered these stories--keep reading it and keep posting.

Oh, it was under announcements and not opinion so that is why I did not understand the post whichRead More appeared as facts.

Presumptuous? What about my "endorsement" is presumptuous. You don't really need toRead More respond😃, I just didn't understand the comment.

Somewhat presumptuous this early on Voting Day.

I attended N.H.H.S. in the mid-seventies. Mr. Reeves and Mr. Moelter were two of my favorites.Read More Loved Mr. McLeroy for Sociology.

great article Mary! Ms. Korney, she sometimes scared me to death! But always around christmas IRead More think of her and pronounce my letters clearly at the end of a word when I sing. I can still remember the song I had to sing for my final, "If ever I would leave you..." She taught me a lot. I agree with everything you said about Mr. Reeves. I had Mr. Pesin for Algebra, he did nothing to help further my math skills. The biggest flirt around, ick. We had a girl in school at the time that flirted her way to an A and hardly ever went to class. Go figure!! I also thought quite highly of Ms. Requiam. Glad she's still around.

Alex Daniels May 21, 2013 at 09:05 pm
I also notice Wendy Gruel has no platform, except taking money from special interest (most notablyRead More her puppet masters at the DWP) and having one of the most negative campaigns I've ever seen......no thanks, negative Wendy, fool me once.....Eric is our next Mayor....

The signs are everywhere! Please vote for Wendy, Nora. He is also running ads about Wendy GreuelRead More that he knows are outright lies.
