Where life clears its mind
In Los Angeles and every other city in the country and the world there’s something more precious than oil, diamonds, silver, mineral rights, 70-plus virgins, a genie in a bottle, Picasso’s paintings, Sinatra’s voice, the ability to foretell the future and a gold brick; it’s solitude.By Kevin Holten , March 10, 2010

It's that time again

Reasons to love yourself
