I always think people forget that in Los Angeles they put an ocean right next to the city. If you don’t see Santa Monica Beach you’re making a big mistake. It’s broad and long and just right there. I go a couple times each week with the kids or for a jog. It’s easy, you buy a Santa Monica City parking pass and then make sure you get enough out of it. That’s my running joke with my son.

My wife is Italian and to me, Via Veneto is the most authentic of the Italian restaurants around. I like the quail pappardelle — that’s delicious. I keep saying I don’t really need to learn Italian because my wife speaks English. But I comprehend about 90%. If I spend my energy understanding it, I don’t have any energy left to learn. That’s what I say.
