Spring is upon us, and there’s no better way to celebrate the season than by visiting The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California. This 55-acre spectacle of vibrant Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers offers a breathtaking experience for visitors of all ages. Adding to the beauty of this colorful flower farm is artist Alex Heveri’s amazing sculptures.

Great Scott! The Back To The Future Musical North American Tour was an unexpected thrill ride. The talent is superb, and the electrifying special effects seamlessly transport the audience to 1955 and back to 1985. As Marty McFly would say, “that’s heavy.” The multi-award winning musical is heavy on the talent. Don Stephenson as Doc Brown, and Caden Brauch as Marty McFly do the heavy lifting in this production. Don Stephenson (Doc Brown) is a seasoned actor with many stage and TV credits.

It’s summer movie time! And though I’ll admit I’ve been slowly returning to the movies after COVID, I certainly wasn’t going to pass up the chance to see “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1” on the big screen. This is a spoiler-free movie review. The press screening I attended was at the the AMC Mission Valley (San Diego) Dolby Room. Thankfully, walking into the theater and seeing the big, reclining, theater seats removed my apprehension about how long I’d be sitting in that dark room.
