a warm up

After a month of seriously cold winter in PyeongChang, I hopped on a plane for some Summer days in Australia. I'm in Sydney and the three days I've been here already are...

it's all downhill

"You guys want to go skiing?" is not the kind of text message I'm used to being woken up with. More surprising to me was seeing texts from two co-workers immediately say "sure." I had...

great balls o' fire

Happy New Year! I traveled to Baltimore, Virginia, and Dallas over Christmas and New Years - and somehow I managed to take plenty of pics of what I was up to - and post absolutely none of them. For whatever reason...

what a weekend, part 2

Part 2 of my whirlwind weekend was my annual Birthday Beach Beerz Bevz Brunch & Bikez pub cruise. Knowing that it isn't everybody's kinda thing, I generally just...

rail pass

I took a hooky day last week with my friends Jon and Al and spent a few hours among the roller coasters at Six Flags. I originally had told them I couldn't join them, but two projects ended up...

riding the rails

When planning for this DC trip a few weeks ago, I remembered that there's a Six Flags here and I discovered that it was pretty easy to get to by Metro. Even though I grew up an hour away from DC...

If you have a party with an adorable dog there, I'm probably going to come home with a camera full of pics of nothing but the dog. Can you blame me? This is Sophie

go fourth

If you were around for previous years posts (before the blog died, that is) you know the Beach Cities turn into one big party for the 4th of July. Chalk it up to getting old, but instead of our usual early morning start with the Hermosa Beach Ironman, we made a later start of it this year. The beaches and bike paths were…

post haste

For the last few days post-Olympics, I spent a few extra days to just decompress and hang out in Rio and then came to São Paulo for a few days. I knew next to nothing about São Paulo and had little or no expectations. It may be for that reason

skolded

We've been doing more in our off-hours this Olympics than probably any of the Games that I've worked before. (Maybe that accounts for not having time to post about what I'm up to?!) I don't know the reason for that, but I can't complain. (Well maybe for

Thanksgiving at the Beach, at nineteen

Nineteen years ago, (!!) I began this blog with a post about Thanksgiving at the beach. I never would have guessed that nearly 20 years later, I’d still be…

a long time ago

Tuesday, I went to vote at SoFi Stadium. Living at the beach, I’ve been spoiled in that my normal voting location has often been someplace with an ocean view. Then in 2020…

completing the circle

About a year ago, I started working on what may be one of my favorite projects I’ve ever done. It finally went public last week, so I can finally share it with you here: the new brand identity for KRON-TV...

not today

The last few months (and year!) have been pretty busy, so when my friends Elsa and Jeremy asked if I wanted them for a free Disneyland day last week for Jeremy’s birthday, I had to say yes.

It's already the last day of Eurovision already and I haven't done such a great job updating and sharing Lisbon. We really hit the ground running with performances every night (jury shows in between televised shows) and plenty of…

taste of barcelona

Just a quick taste of a couple days in Barcelona. I'll have to try to do a catch up post later, because I'm in Lisbon for Eurovision now and no time to spend on it! Barcelona was a rough spot for me. I suffered through some…
