Addendum To The

Apprentice

TV Show Series

I miss this TV Show Series, believe it or not!  Not that I am into a lot of reality based TV Shows... But I have watched Survivor since the beginning. That is the only one that is still on Broadcast TV that Tina and I watch. She in turn got me into the 'Top Chef' reality series this past Season, which I actually enjoyed!

We were up in Los Angeles this weekend visiting my Great-Uncle Howard, whom we have taken to several places in metro LA, including the Gene Autry National Center, (click here), the San Antonio Winery, (click here), among others. 

This time he wanted to see the Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes, which piqued my interest, as it was one of the two projects that the winner of the Apprentice Season 1, (Bill Rancic), could chose from to manage.

My Great-Uncle Howard loves to golf, Tina enjoys checking out nice resorts, my folks enjoy visiting their Uncle, and I enjoy checking out restaurants!

So in this blog post are a few pics from this weekend's day trip to Trump National.  From the golf course along the ocean, which was rated # 4 in the West by F & G, to the facilities, and to the restaurants, Trump did not disappoint!

From Trump National's Southern most end, you can see Santa Catalina Island offshore on a clear day!

The five of us all had different reasons for enjoying the Trump National.

For those of you that can't make it to APE in San Francisco this weekend, well then comic con is right up your alley!

This Comic Con is one day only at the Back Bay Events Center.

The Guest List includes:

Peter Laird, who is the co-creator of the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

Berni Wrightson, who is the co-creator of DC Comics' Swamp Thing!

I have had the pleasure of seeing Berni Wrightson in person, and hearing him speak about his career in the comics industry.

There is no mention on whether or not there are any panels or programs at this one day con....

However, according to the press release, this one day con should be packed with even more 'tables' this convention versus the last Con.

Of course with dealer tables there should be plenty of toys and and other collectibles!

Plus new and old comic books! 

If you live near the Boston area, and have wanted to attend a comic convention, this one day affair could be the one to get you into the 'comics world' if you aren't already....
