What’s more important: the message or the messenger? If I told you, “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness,” you might thank me for my fortune cookie counsel, before thinking you’ve probably heard better advice elsewhere. And if I added some more underwhelming and un-genius […]
LA VERNE, California, Jan. 10, 2018 — I consider myself somewhat of a Warren Buffett expert.

LA VERNE, California, December 20, 2017 — La Verne’s 91-consecutive-year Christmas tradition of delivering nuts, fruit and candy to residents living on the more than 900 streets that make up the city is an amazing achievement.
