Lockheed
I start working (remotely) at Netflix on Monday. Supposedly, Netflix will be consolidating their Animation operations in the office complex at The Empire Center in Burbank. When I was growing up, Burbank was a two industry town: aerospace (Lockheed) and … Continue reading
Out
As Americans talking about America, we always seem to use “back” when we talk about the East (“back East”) but we use “out” when we talk about the West (“out West”). Some vestigial frontier mentality, I expect.

The Mohonk Mountain House rising from the fog atop the Shawagunk Ridge in the Catskill Mountains looks just a liiittle too much like the Overlook Hotel for me to feel entirely safe.
