State of Bliss – LA Kings Hunt Down the Ducks

by Tony Shea May 18, 2014

It was only a few short weeks ago that the LA Kings made hockey history coming back from a 3 games to 0 deficit to win their first round playoff series against their hated west coast rivals, the San Jose Sharks. It was the kind of victory that comes perhaps once in lifetime and the […]

The View from 37,000 Feet – Part 1 [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea May 15, 2014

I love traveling and I love flying on planes (provided that there are sudden jolting flashes of turbulent death.) I love airports – I like the mayhem of them, with all their refugee camp meets duty free perfume/chain restaurant/bar/gift shop/high end jewelry store/commemorative t-shirt and shot glass stand glory. When I fly I like to […]

State of Grace – Jon Quick and the LA Kings Skin San Jose

by Tony Shea May 1, 2014

If you’re an LA Kings fan you were undoubtedly hung over this morning from getting stinking drunk on joy juice last night – that seldom distilled 180 proof adrenaline that occasions sweet glorious victory. Last night the Kings defeated the San Jose Sharks to win the Stanley Cup! Wait, that’s wrong. Impossible in fact, but […]

Burbank Gets Foodie [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea April 25, 2014
