Getting prepped for #LifeofaShowgirl: comfy clothes, appetizer dinner, Eras Tour, and, of course, an orange candle.

Stephen Colbert and Noah Wylie making me cry tonight. #Emmys

Andor got an Emmy!!! A big one, too! I'm so surprised and thrilled by this! A powerful show for this day and age.

Had an amazing time running the 10k this morning. It felt a bit rough at the start, but the weather was perfect and the entertainment was excellent! #RunDisney

It's time for Cruella's 10k! I'm puppy #846, and loving all of the outfits. Ready for a run! #RunDisney

Ultimate SoCal summer moment - watching Grease next to the pool.

Tonight is a really good night to be on the West Coast (especially for a work night). #TaylorSwift #Clowning #ButReallyIsThisClownin!?

A ridiculously perfect summer night at the Hollywood Bowl, ready to see Jesus Christ Superstar live for the first time. I've known it by heart since I was 7 years old. A long time family favorite.

Impulsively bought a ticket for Jesus Christ Superstar (seeing tonight's show) on Friday after I saw the first snips of scenes. Those tickets, that I bought straight from the Bowl for $212 are now going for $720+ on resale sites!

2025, hasn't it been quite enough for us here in LA? You need to sit down in a corner and think about your misdeeds.

Got to do most of the Disneyland "new stuff" this afternoon- Fantastic 4, new Small World verse, Walt audio animatronic. Now taking a hotel break before the "Disneyland Night Time Gauntlet". World of Color, fireworks (while walking), Paint the Night. Excited for a new show and an old favorite.

Saw Johnny and The Thing while in line, and took a fun picture with Sue and Reed.

Herbie's little dance and song is excellent. #Fantastic4 #Disneyland

Controversial (maybe?) position- I think the sour cream and onion Mr. Fantastic mozzarella sticks is really good. I seemed to get a fresh one, that was gooey on the inside. I liked the addition of the seasoning to the breading. And I didn't mind the blue color. But it is definitely overpriced.

Let's do this! #Fantastic4

Epic Universe First Visit posting thread. Walked from the hotel at 7:22, took 13 minutes, I'm the second group in my security line. Very entertained by the commentary of Daniel the security guard while we wait for the gates to open.

I made it, finally. Ready for some Universal-y Epic days...

Not where I mean to land, alas. We are waiting for a storm to work its way through Orlando. Here's hoping we get to go soon.

One more day until vacation. I can do this...

Summer in La Canada. Listening to live music, relaxing with food and drinks.

Seeing lots of chatter about Texas alerts. Reminder that alerts are only as good as the policies and procedures that say when they should be sent. Pre-incident alerting is challenging - who is the incident commander requesting the alert if the flooding hasn't started yet?

Let the party begin! Disneyland Pride Nite is here!!

Interesting. The connector between Cars Land and Avengers Campus is closed with a themed wall. Wonder if this is long term as they work on the new construction.

Last time I was here my trip got interrupted by local job related events. Made an impulse decision to attend the Disneyland Pride Nite as an antidote to recent events and I couldn't be happier.

The night before what will undoubtedly be a very, very long EOC day...

Packed and ready for @mouseadventure.bsky.social tomorrow! Beware the Groove is ready to rock!

On warning sirens 🚨 ⚠️ If you can barely hear the mighty, pirecing sound of bagpipes on a windy day, can you really expect that everyone who needs to hear warning sirens and PA will hear and understand them? ...you shouldn't! And that's not what they're for.

When you pull off the big surprise and your Mom actually had no idea her sister was coming to celebrate her 70th birthday!

That moment when you are so excited to finally have a three day weekend, then wake up sick on Friday. Well, guess it's time to finally catch up on Andor.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

Wow, I miss #GalacticStarcruiser. But #UniversalFanFest is a close second...

Goodies as we enter to see the #D23 #Thunderbolts early screening

Just a little Easter chaos with the nieces...

It's time for Easter/Niece birthday weekend in San Luis Obispo! Staying in a fun, weird AirBNB.

My new go to response #thepitt @hbomax.bsky.social

#ThePitt is the closest TV show I've ever seen to getting the dynamics of a long, bad, EOC shift right. Wow. #greysky

When it's not quite warm enough yet to hang.out in your Mom's pool, but it's definitely warm enough to relax next to it...

Today's weird LA moment, as seen from my Pasadena apartment. I guess the Jonas Brothers are going on tour?

So, Santa Fe, NM was fabulous, absolutely loved it, and will never visit again in this season. I got officially allergy tested last fall. Should have seen this coming. My eyes haven't stopped watering/nose hasn't stopped running the full trip.

Time for the entire reason I chose Santa Fe for this adventure...

Day one of adventure brought some history and some nature. Time for a margarita!

It's time for a mini weekend adventure! Using the long weekend to get away from LA for a bit and explore somewhere I've never been before...

Just watched the latest episode of #ThePitt. This show breaks me every week. Such an incredible portrayal. Noah Wyle is exceptional.

This seems like an unusually low flyover for Dodgers opening day, with way more loops over Pasadena than I'm used to. I know it's cloudy, so they have to fly low. But that's a lot of earth rattling loops!

hello ok i am awake what did i miss tell me every thing

This. As an emergency manager, in odd ways this is becoming my comfort show. Smart people doing their jobs during a disaster effectively. Absolutely love #ThePitt.

In response to favorite fan theories, Sasheer Zamata said hers is that Rio is Nicholas’ mom and then Jac Schaeffer said she loves that it’s a theory she can confirm. Kathryn Hahn looks totally shocked at that answer and tries to hide her smile #AgathaAllAlong #Paleyfest

This is definitely high up in the "nerdiest things I've done" rankings. #PaleyFest #AgathaAllAlong

Best choice of today was enjoying a 6pm post-work tulip walk with my Mom at @descansogardens.bsky.social

This is why we fund the National Weather Service and emergency management.
