Dinner in HB

Tonight I met Denny, Kwis, Mat, and Scot in Huntington Beach. We had a fabulous dinner at El Ranchito, and then took a walk and watched the sunset from the HB Pier. Big Kris was there too but she left before my camera came out. A Very nice evening! Thanks to you all!

Death Valley Trip

I spent a couple of days in Death Valley. I hadn't been there in about 9 years. There is more of a Disneyland feel now that it has been a National Park since 1994 thanks to Slick Willie. I preferred the rough and ready, devil may care, you're on your own wild west atmosphere it had when it was Death Valley National Monument. But that's just my opinion. As always take it with a grain of sodium chloride.

Family Get-Togther

We recently had a rendezvous with my Brother, his lovely wife, and their children at a local Tiki Bar. These photos are a small sampling of the wild time we had.

Here is my brother with 2 of his kids.

Visit to the Aquarium of The Pacific

I spent the afternoon yesterday at the Aquarium of the Pacific. It wasn't too crowded so I had plenty of time to plan my shots. I even found time to buy a $3.00 Diet Pepsi.

Calling On Sam Clemente

Another Wednesday, another lunch. Same place, same food, same people. This was the first chance for the Commander and the Tahoe to bond. Looks like it went well.

Lunch with a Friend

Lunched with G in San Clemente today. He had a fishless taco, and I had a chicken enchilada. After lunch G said he'd like me to take a picture of him _without_ his hat. With my camera always at the ready I obliged. Thanks for the lunch, G!

San Clemente is a few miles South of me. Today I traveled there and visited my friend G and we took a hike on the beach to check out the "trail".
