About the cover photo

This viewpoint in Tuna Canyon Park in the western Santa Monica Mountains, looks out over the Pacific Ocean and the shoreline of the beach communities of Los Angeles. Though I've moved on to New Orleans, I like to be reminded that sometimes you have to get up above it all for the best perspective.

About Me

Glennis: I've quit my job, sold my house, and moved to New Orleans. Now I'm a graduate student, and writing about life in the city that is my new home.
