Europe 2022 – Pre-Flight
May 24 – June 2 We’d been planning for about six months a return to Europe to celebrate our 40th anniversary this year. The impetus for this is that we originally planned on getting married there in 1982 (we did visit but ended up returning to the US to get hitched) and since have celebrated […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Five
February 2021 Weather in Los Angeles continued to be abnormally dry during February, usually a rainy by our standards month, and so we kept up riding, including one with Theresa down to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. It is located next to the lighthouse of the same name, which was built in 1926 to aid […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Four
February 2021 We’d been home for a week or two when our governor lifted the state-wide lockdown freeing us to ramble far and wide and thus, we made tracks for Oakland to spend a long weekend with Jessica, Kris and Baby Gemma. Not having seen her for two months, those of us with children who […]
Oakland and Oregon, Part Eight
December 19, 2019 –January 30, 2020 Next up for us was just a half mile away at the US Army Corps of Engineers Bay Model Visitor Center, a working hydraulic scale model of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta System. While the Bay Model is still operational, it is no longer used […]
Oakland and Oregon, Part One
December 19 –January 13 We returned to Los Angeles mid-week and began preparations for a baby shower we’d be hosting for our daughter and son-in-law, Jessica and Kris, as happy an occasion as one can imagine. Family and friends came together, and a fine time was had by all. A week or so later I […]
Back to the Future – L.A., Part Three
June 10 – TBD Thus, would begin a couple of months of settling in, the house pretty much straightened out and organized as much as it would get, leaving us with free time, a nice place to be after five months of moving and the emotional and physical baggage it brings with it. The first […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Two
December 20 – January 7 The next morning, we met Heather for breakfast at another longstanding favorite, Maxwell’s near the Marina del Rey. Here is a review I wrote about it back in 2014: I’ve been going to Maxwell’s Cafe since the 1980’s and have always enjoyed the food. Not the cheapest or the most […]
The Holidays 2019, Part One
December 20 – January 7 The lead up to our trip to the west coast for the holidays would be convoluted; we’d end up changing our flights twice, incurring painful re-booking costs, all ultimately worthwhile as it gave us extra days with folks we like. The last change bumped up our departure to the Thursday […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Los Angeles
June 11 – 13 Our three nights in Los Angeles would follow a familiar pattern, visiting old haunts, seeing good friends, maybe a bike ride or two and best of all, an obligatory dinner at Paco’s. And that is pretty much how it went, a lot of it old news to those who follow this […]
