    The Teddy Bear House was nice . . charming, ever; and well-balanced that wicked cascade that opened the program. Whoever inspired such rage? . . I thought I was ever part a gentleman? A dubious gentleman?

    Still warm on the web, I watched my DailyAlison at 12:20 am, Vancouver Time (Newport Beach Time) and, in consequence, missed RED EYE’S new segment: “PROOP’S POOP,” featuring Greg Proops and, what else?—I've no clue, for I was, instead, quite happily watching you. Balboa is grand, but how could you omit the Old Balboa Fire Station? Next trip, maybe yes on the station?

    A great 9 minutes less 2 – – smiled throughout, appropriately peppered with giggles.

    Balboa Island – is that where your dad docks his boat?

    Great vlog, Alison. Your mother is SO BEAUTIFUL! And Tobey is as cute as ever.

    I didn't know anything about Balboa Island so I found their web site. Here are some interesting facts:

    * Balboa Island is a man made Island that was dredged and filled right before World War I.

    * The Distances around Balboa Island:

    Balboa Island – 1.71 Miles
    Little Balboa Island – .79 Miles
    The Bridge and the Ramp – .5 Miles
    Total = 2.60 Miles

    * Original property lots were sold for $250 and now run in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

    * Every year they have a Christmas Boat Parade that began in 1908. On December 23, 1908, a gondolier named John Scarpa organized eight canoes and his own gondola, all lighted with Japanese lanterns and ceremoniously sailed around in the bay.

    * Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, Dick Powell, Shirley Temple, James Cagney, Mae West and John Wayne all owned yachts in Newport Harbor.

    * The Rosen family are frequent visitors!

    Here's the island's web site: http://www.balboa-island.com

    They should post your video on their site!

    Right when you took the shot of the Peninsula where you say, “My mother said I should take this shot,” MY mother said, “That is a good shot!” Our mothers are like two peas in a pod.

    P.S. My mother says this comment is not totally accurate. She wants to add that she also took that shot when we lived there because she likes it too.

    Hey people. Long time no comment, I've been busy, away, otherwise engaged, dealing with a family tragedy, in prison, having a spring fling, cheating on alison with another vlogger, working as a long haul trucker, walking across America, lost at sea, living as an Amish farmer, searching for big foot, curing cancer, discovering the meaning of life and doing a little bit of laundry .

    I have loads of Daily Alison's to catch up on.

    Question Alison. Did Tobey earn scale for his performance or is the Daily Alison a non Union shop?
