Here we come

Blue Angels

Every summer, the military puts on grand display of the glory of our fading empire for Fleet Week. I got out there and enjoyed the show with the rest of the crowd. The F22 is a pretty impressive machine, albeit one that costs $150 million a piece and has never been used in combat.

White Water and Red Wine

Ruth booked a groupon for this adventure nearly a year ago, and we had to use it before it expired, so we had back-to-back outdoor weekends. Lots of fun drinking wine and charging rapids in gold country.

Bought photos for an exorbitant price from a photography company on the shore, so I had some fun with iMovie turning them into a commercial for California.

Lost Coast

Headed up the coast for Memorial Day, renting a “cabin” with Maude and some friends. Went for a hike at Gold Bluff beach up a fern covered canyon that was used to film some scenes in the lost world. Enjoyed the jacuzzi at night, keeping warm in the fog.

Beautiful sunset this evening reflects on the restored facade of my friendly neighborhood arts center.
