Robin and I had a fantastic trip to Capri. We’ve been there a few times but never stayed overnight. We stayed at the Tibero Palace which was a great hotel. We also learned that there’s a lot more to the island than shopping. There are some great trails that go to the Blue Grotto. Here…

Fall Colors in Vail
We made a quick trip to our place in Vail to check out the fall colors, do a bit a hiking, and some fly fishing. We also drove to Independence Pass to check out the colors in Aspen. The colors were perfect this year. I’ve pasted a few photos as well as one from a…
Scripps Pier La Jolla
Every day we take a walk from our house to the Scripps Pier. I have taken dozens of photos of the pier, but this one is quite unique. Check out the lifeguard at the end of the pier. We’ve tried getting some with surfers but haven’t gotten that one yet. The same day we found…

La Jolla Half Marathon and 5k
Last week I ran this La Jolla race with some colleagues from Japan. It was great. The race went right past my house in La Jolla shores. It was nice to be able to walk down the hill to my house after the race. What was even better is that a nice swell was just…
Back in La Jolla
We finally made it to La Jolla for our summer stint. They replaced the traditional fireworks show with some drones. Cool, but a little underwhelming. Looking forward to a little down time on the beach and a lot of surfing. I’m also hoping to polish off my next book. More to come …
