The high point of our weekend was the Pacific Classic – won by long shot Borrego. No, we did not bet – we would have lost if we had – but we had fun looking at the shiny horsies and drinking 8 dollar beers. Many thanks to Paul and Joanna for driving us up and…

Hotel Del Coronado
The Del Coronado was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and lunch was grand. Marilyn’s got nothin’ on Kelly.
To Temecula and Beyond!
We just got back from visiting Paul and Joanna and their five cats and 2 dogs in Temecula. Paul and Joanna have a lovely home in a quiet, clean neighborhood. Both of them have very short commutes and good jobs. (Well, Joanna might argue with that point, but that’s a l-o-n-g story for another day.)…
Jumpin’ Jack Chestnut
From time to time friends send me fabulous images. This is definitely one of them. Meet Jack. The black and white is a nice touch don’t you think? It really sets off the metallic costume from its leafy surroundings. Most excellent costume and photography by Siobhan Chestnut. Fabulous!
There Are Photos Everywhere
Thinking today’s weather was guilting me into getting outside for a few minutes, I convinced my favorite model to join me on the roof for 5 minutes. Here are the results.
Getting Ready for the Burn
Jack works to get the Psychic Taxi ready for Burningman. We know quite a few people who will be attending the big event in Black Rock Desert this year. Our friends are trying awfully hard to get us to go, and we’re flattered, but it just does not look like it’s going to happen. Too…
Long Ago in a Frozen Land Far, Far Away…
This week I received e-mails from two people I have not seen in nearly twenty years. The first came from my ex-girlfriend Cheryl. That’s her on the left with a somewhat younger and slightly thinner dude. Evidently, she stumbled onto my site while Googling Thule Air Base in Greenland. She sent a link to my…
Hill’s Here!
We are delighted to be spending some quality time with Hillary. (You may remember her from our water skiing trip in June.) Well, we have her held hostage for a few days in the Bay Area and intend to make the most of it. Last night, we watched the A’s beat the LA Angels. (Go…
Size Doesn’t Matter…
What matters is how BIG it is. There are many great things to say about this new configuration. I still have a vertically oriented monitor for browsing and working on portrait-oriented documents. (That’s just about everything, right?) In addition, I now have a huge, brilliant canvas for displaying and editing images. I briefly considered a…
A Diverse Dinner with Friends
Last night’s dinner at Chris and Ben’s was awesome, as usual. This evening was made extra-special because dinner was sort of a potluck. We had Thai curried duck, Tandoori chicken and good old American potato salad and apple pie for dessert. Despite the fact that my pictures are excusively of women, I can assure you…
Low Tech – High Concept
Our neighbors/friends Jack and Tres (see below) needed a quick web site so that they could pitch their fun idea for a Burningman theme camp. (All they really wanted to do is obtain permission to arrive early at Black Rock City.) So, they threw a site together quickly using hand-drawn graphics and a simple site…
