I am in Palm Springs and I may have had a couple of beers. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll have one more. I am eating nuts for dinner and brainstorming life with Alice. I picked her up at LAX at noon. An hour later we stopped at a Wendy’s outside of Moreno Valley, and an hour after that we were standing in the lobby of the Ace Hotel looking at Jon‘s mustache. I am embarrassed by my life list. I want nothing more at this moment than what I have, which is my feet on my bed, my laptop, the Beatles on the radio, and the minibar taunting me from across the room.
I will try harder at NaBlo from here on out, I said, having no idea whether or not that was true.



















i approve of the beer & beatles buzz. but i’d also advise you to always keep a cocktail umbrella with you to provide extra enhancement to those spontaneous mini-bar moments.
You know, if the reason you can’t come up with a life list is because you already have everything you want, then I’d say you’ve already completed your life list. Don’t worry about it any more. And definitely don’t be embarrassed.
The Ace!!! Is it amazingly/fun? I think it’s the perfect Fussy ethos – seriously. I bet you look like you were made for each other.
Craig Mattox, the chef is a friend of mine. Look him up and tell him “Mit” says hi. He does amazing things with food.
Spending a week at the Ace is on my life-list. <3
Why do those mini bars tempt us? Oh, and good luck with that, what did you call it, ‘life list’? Yeah, I should do one of those one day, nah, I tend to just ‘wing it’ not the best approach, oh well!
