The kitchen is NOT my happy place. While I love enjoying delicious food prepared by others, when it comes to cooking, mine is limited to cooking up ideas for stories, cartoons, and solutions to problems. Food is something else altogether, my forays into the preparation of which have been accompanied by burns, cuts, and indigestion. Not my strong suit. So, frozen dinners and the microwave are how I subsist, and that's fine. In the past, Thanksgiving was a very enjoyable shared event for me as...
by Alyssa Erdley News with Attitude California Governor Gavin Newsom was outed as having flouted his own state's guidelines and rules when he was caught attending a birthday party on November 6 at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in Napa.

By Sabine Ganezer Photo: A Younger Generation of Costumes More Relevant to our Crazy Times Usually, September and October are the months when we can look forward to walking around the neighborhood, admiring the front yards of Halloween-loving homeowners who go all out with decorations. This year, however, looking at the polystyrene figments of the macabre that adorn only a fraction of entryways, I must admit the typical elements that have become party-store staples in recent decades, just aren't so appealing. Zombies? Please. During the...

According to a study from the University of California San Diego, a one year-old dog is more like a 30 year-old human. That's because new genetic evidence shows puppies and younger dogs age at a faster pace. Then, as dogs age, the process slows down, so researchers found that a 12 year-old Labrador is similar to a 70-year old human. Dogs live an average of 12 years. Life expectancy in humans is about 5 times that. That means you've probably been estimating your dog's human age equivalent...

But there is one thing the Marina del Rey retiree did not want to watch: the growth of his prostate cancer tumor. After being diagnosed with the disease earlier this year, Michaud chose not to engage in "watchful waiting" – or active surveillance – one of the traditional medical options offered to men with slow-growing prostate cancer.
