Coffee, books and music are a natural fit at Cool Beans on Los Alisos.

A community cultural happening took place Saturday morning at Cool Beans on Los Alisos in Mission Viejo.

As singer Bradley Weinholtz strummed guitar, local author Sonia Marsh greeted readers and signed copies of her recent book, Freeways to Flip Flops.

The book explains how Marsh and husband Duke uprooted their three sons and started a new adventure in Belize. The memoir details the family's "defeats, fears and setbacks" as they learned to reconnect to one another.

Cool Beans owner Tony Aldemir was on hand for the fun as well. To see more, check out the photos above.

Here's that story, Cathy (with a few tidbits you won't find in the Register's story, like where theRead More teen's vehicle was last seen): http://missionviejo.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/shooting-17yearold-trabuco-canyon-boy-with-handgun-sought

I guess Patch.com will be issuing a refund.

I was referring to the fact that the link leads to a clip from Pete Seegar's show; he joins SonnyRead More Terry and Brownie McGhee in "Key To The Highway." The harp work alone you'll never see the likes of on TV these days.

Modern TV has moved to cable. Still, there are the occasional shows like "House MD" orRead More "Elementary" that work well. "The Big Bang Theory" is waaaay better than "Three's Company" Anything is better than "The Love Boat" Or are you nostalgic for "Bonanza" where the dad looks 55, and his three sons about 48? Reality shows are just ways of pissing off more people who think "Well, I can do that!" or "Look at those fake housewives!"

Hi Charlie, So McDonald's sold it. That was hardly the point of the piece was it? And I wasn'tRead More bashing Chipotle, Charlie, I was bashing our collective notion that education is about "getting a better job." I was bashing our total disrespect for education and educators. The last thing we need to do it bash their unions. We need to take a look at the leadership of the union but the vehicle of the union is all that stands between us and corporate greed.

In what respect, Charlie?
Charlie Woodward May 21, 2013 at 03:09 pm
Dan, I read your blog about the Free Burrito for Teachers. I happen to support Chipotle, and ownRead More stock in them. One thing you need to research. THEY ARE NOT OWNED BY MCDONALDS ANYMORE!!! As I do agree, teachers are under paid, but offering something like Chipotle did is great. I think we need to bash their unions instead of great companies like Chipotle who are just offering a benefit.

Now wait a second—UV exposure causes skin cancer, and sunscreen prevents UV exposure, right?Read More And so what if the neighborhood hounds tend to give you a little extra attention while you're wearing it? It's a small price to pay I'd say.

I know where they should be issuing speeding tickets: Marguerite Pkwy. between Crown Valley andRead More Avery Parkway between 6:10 and 6:25 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Teens are frantically rushing to get to CVHS upper lot before it gets full. Every morning I see kids running red lights, speeding and weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for anyone else.

The MV motorcycle cops are all over the place. I'd like to know the number of traffic citationsRead More issued in MV versus our other neighboring cities.
S L S May 18, 2013 at 07:53 am
Why are all the Motorcycle cops in MV OVERWEIGHT???

I've got some good news for the Mission Viejo Patch Whiners (®). It seems we're still migratingRead More a lot of the old content onto the new site. Expect to see videos repopulated soon, and I believe comments as well.

They are coming for the Johns now. DA Ruckysuckyducky has a new "shaming" program. I'mRead More sure it will work and prostitution will no longer be a curse upon the land...I mean, after all, the War on Drugs was a rollicking success!
Panglonymous May 16, 2013 at 01:54 pm
That rings true, don't it: the 'flat spot' in an ongoing trend that will sometime soon go on. Eat,Read More drink and be, Mary, for tomorrow... a new interface will be introduced that strips hyperlinks, videos and comments from your bloggos and puts history out with the dogs. (whiiiiinnnnnnne)

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view. I'll be writing a post about that. If you're a business owner with a web site, you need to understand the reason in order to save money on your site.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.

The bible tells us to flee the occult.
Dan Avery May 11, 2013 at 04:39 pm
I talk to dead people all the time. My mom, dad, grandma, sister, and so on. It's when you startRead More claiming they talk back that you've crossed the line into hucksterism.
Sarah Bardowell May 21, 2013 at 08:16 pm
My sister has cancer. Thank you for you concern on her well-being.

How much did they make when creating the facade of supporting the First Amendment, but accommodatingRead More homophobia?
