So long LA. Some call it LaLa Land, but for us, it's been a time of extreme work, some play, economic upheavals, business pressures, glorious mountain hikes, refreshing and fragrant air and a place to raise a family. It's been anything but "LaLa." As we leave our oldest here to the vagaries of the new economy, we wish him a ground-breaking path and the best of luck and fortune in his career at Netflix, in his love life, in his desire for happiness. We wish all our friends and family a safe life journey and a crooked and very interesting path. We know ours will all cross again.
Onward east, to the Shores of Miami.
Signing off as the UrbanNomad in LA...onto the Urban Adventures in Miami.
Lots of Love from us.

OMG…The Future is in my Living Room!
OMG! The future is here and now and is hanging on my wall in the form of a Panasonic television screen equipped with VieraCast! What, you ask? High def viewing combined with the power of the Internet, wild sound, a camera and the likes of SKYPE, Twitter, Netflix, Amazon Movies (did you even know they had a competitive service to Netflix??), Weather.com, Pandora radio, Picasa photos, assorted channels from Germany (yes, Germany, although I am in Pasadena, California) and all of my 500 channels from AT&T/U-verse. All this on the clearest, crispest plasma screen I've ever seen!
I am wowed. I can't wait to see what other services they have in store for us that are "coming soon."
All you need is an electric connection, Internet access and either your digital box for free television channels or a connection to a programming distribution service. VieraCast is a smart TV platform brought to us by Panasonic that makes it possible to stream multimedia content from the Internet directly into select televisions. Maybe this is the return of family viewing. The return of families sitting around the TV, together.
My husband and I did something we haven't done in years -- we actually danced and sang the night away, in our living room. We went to Pandora and set up our favorite, personal radio stations, choosing our favorite songs so that Pandora's computer software could psycho-select our stations for us! It reminded me of so many nights my sisters and I would put on records and dance while my parents watched, shaking their heads but inwardly appreciating the beat as we moved our hips and threw up our arms like chimps and had a great, shared time.
If you haven't yet gotten all your holiday gifts, this is one to consider! Ours cost us under $800 and has already given us hours of fun.
Happy Holidays to all!
