To me, Fallbrook is the town that time forgot. A man and his movie theater have been cast in leading roles in this unfolding tale. I marvel at how Fallbrook has retained its dreamy, rural feel even though it anchors a chunk of Southern California and is flanked by state highways and interstate freeways. Ours is a colorful community, and Roy Moosa and his historic Mission Theater are among the most vibrant threads in its tapestry of people and places. I had lived in Fallbrook...

It’s dangerous to even try to stand and put on my britches. To keep from toppling over, I now must sit and extend one leg at a time when putting anything on my lower half. That said, on a good day, I can still stand in a yoga-tree stance. Though not for long. Furthermore, I am well past the day... Full story
