Forever Perfect ... Crustacean in Beverly Hills
Not new, but forever perfect, Crustacean, The An Family Restaurant in Beverly Hills left us "walking on water" after a recent dine out with friends who flew in from Scottsdale, Arizona (home of it's own posh resorts and restaurants.)
The menu, service, food, atmosphere, and overall beauty at Crustacean made every moment a really chic and trendy ... what you would expect, night out in Beverly Hills.
What impresses the most is the wonderful way you are treated by everyone from the hostesses, to the servers, to the valet, to Ms. An herself as she comes out and warmly greets each table. Everyone in our party loved the food, drinks, desserts, and coffee.
We had been at Crustacean before but every time we return we find it to be a new and memorable experience. We did need reservations, lots of money, and remember to be dressy casual. Totally Perfect!
Check out the web site for sample menu, gorgeous pictures and needed information for reservations.

Media Talk - Politics, Weather, A Dead Princess, and Notes
All of this barrage of information in just a few minutes. I make a note to filter out more and take in less. And yet media, information, communications is my business. How does all this "pop culture" relate to my own life? Do I still grieve for Princess Dianna? - no ... Do I care who makes the nomination for president of the United States?- I should ... Do I need to know what goes on in the health care system? - probably ... the only word that comes to mind is the need for balance. Perhaps balance in my life as to what is truly important for me to know, to integrate, to file away or to ignore.
I think the final conclusion is a conscious decision for how I spend my own time and energy. I make additional notes to set priorities on a daily basis, keep a more consistent journal, and take time each day to clear out from my spirit any and all unwanted and unnecessary energies. Usually, when I do this little routine, I immediately notice a huge difference in the quality of my life. How do you handle the information, electronic, and media driven world? What if any is your choice for balance? Where do you draw the line?
