Just got this new board from Tim Bessell. I hope it surfs as good as it looks. I have another one that I love, but it’s getting a little worn. I had Tim put on a new soft top which is a great invention. Same board, but with a soft…

Love Shack
The famous Love Shack at Windansea Beach was built right after WWII. During the holiday season, a lighted wreath is put on the shack. Here is this year’s wreath.

Yoga on the Beach
This morning, Lifetime Fitness in La Jolla sponsored yoga on the beach. It was at the Wedding Bowl in La Jolla, right next to Windansea beach. After having lived in Colorado for thirty years, it’s hard to get used to sunny warm weather in December. And, you can’t beat the views. Also, thanks to Gaiam…
King Tides Open Up the Tide Pools
A few times a year, the King Tides come to La Jolla. Just north of the Scripps Pier is an outcropping of lava rocks that are usually under water. However, when the tide goes out, the tide pools form. They are filled with starfish and sometimes octopus. The lighting today was perfect and I took…
Hotel Del Coronado
All the lights are up at the Hotel Del Coronado. We went there over the break to check things out. We wanted to go skating, but it was $45 each, which was a little steep for a few laps around the ice. Still, we had a great time. Just fun to get out and see…
Culinary Highlights from Kuala Lumpur, Bali and Syndey
I just returned from a trip to Malaysia, Bali and Sydney, Australia. Most of it was work related, but I did manage to do a little surfing in Bali and swim in Icebergs near Bondi beach (since there were no waves and we couldn’t surf). But the highlight of the trip was the food, especially…
Visit to Capri and Paestum
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…
