It's true, 2024 was a rough year.
Between health issues and a job loss, I've worried about what was going to happen to me.
But somehow, I've managed to keep plugging away, as I always seem to do.
And there are some good things on the horizon—namely, the history book I'm writing for the centennial of The Los Angeles Breakfast Club, which will be published in 2025. That's taking up a lot of my time now—time I could be spending "out there" exploring, and on here sharing my experiences.
I'm certain the sacrifices I'm making now—including not doing any freelance writing for other publications—will pay off in the end. But that just means it may look as though I haven't been as productive this year.
At least, for now.
But I still had plenty of good stuff to share—so, as is my tradition at the end of each year, here follows my Top 10 posts of 2024.
That's based on clicks/page views alone and not by some subjective judgment on their quality. So, if you'd like to know what other people were reading in 2024, take a gander here:

2. The Little House on the Prairie TV Series Converted This California Cattle Ranch Into Walnut Grove
*published at the end of 2023, so I think most of the views probably came in 2024
I find it interesting that more than half of these popular posts were about places outside of Los Angeles, which has been where the bulk of my content (and, I thought, readership) has historically been centered. And four of the top posts of 2024 focused on experiences in the Bay Area (which I visited twice this year).
That seems encouraging, that there's an appetite for photos and writing about some farther-flung places. And that's good news, too, considering I'm hoping to make it back up to Northern California in 2025 (as well as some other destinations that it's too soon to talk about just yet).
There are still a few days left in 2024, which I'm hoping will be uneventful—so let this post serve as an end-of-year recap, allowing me to start looking forward and stop looking back at a difficult time.
