SCENE | Malibu, 1964. Photo by Dennis Hopper from Dennis Hopper Photographs 1961-1967.

While I don't usually post personal entries here, I am happy to report that as of today I've been on this planet for three decades. I'm diving in to my 30s head-first and taking solace that not even Nora Ephron had it all together.

"In fact, looking back, it seems to me that I was clueless until I was about fifty years old." —Nora Ephron Vanessa Uttaro said...

Happy Birthday, and congratulations! I've enjoyed being in my 30s, I take myself more seriously (even if no one else does).

Happy Birthday. I am crazy about those Dennis Hopper photos of LA from that era.

Nora always knew how to craft wise words.


January 14, 2013 at 11:51 AM 
If in doubt, listen to Nora!
