Had the latest chapter in the Albanese tale in the paper today:

The Press Club of Dallas is suing its former president for allegedly faking the judging of the Katie Awards, one of the region’s top prizes for journalists.

The suit, filed Monday in Dallas County District Court, also claims that Elizabeth Albanese was involved in “dishonest and fraudulent” activity with the club’s finances during her 19 months as president.

Last month, The Dallas Morning News reported that Ms. Albanese has a history of mental illness and a criminal history in three states under the name Lisa Albanese, including charges of theft, forgery and circulating false documents.

Also, am heading to L.A. (not La.) tomorrow for a conference. I won’t have a car, which seems almost unpatriotic in Los Angeles. So any suggestions of things to do in downtown would be appreciated. And I’ll be back in California in a few weeks, this time around Lake Tahoe and Sacramento. Suggestions, again, appreciated.

Well, if you're into dancing salsa (uhhhh...), I had the best night o' salsa EVER at The Mayan. It's right in downtown LA. Not sure if it's still open-- this was like 5 years ago.

McCoy Tyner is playing at the Disney Hall on Friday, which is right downtown. Or are you in town just for a day or so>

Get someone to take you to IN n OUT burger! Order off the secret menu (animal style, well-done fries).
