My adult son wanted to amuse himself by getting a $22 smoothie from Erewhon. My wife and I amused ourselves by getting these beers and some reasonably priced lemon hummus. #bskybeer

Still making up my mind about Topa Topa’s most popular beer Chief Peak. I’m a big fan of their Spectro and their milk stout, but they are only available at their brew pubs. #bskybeer

I refused to try it! Yes Californians love avocados but I am going to draw the line at avocado beer from now on. I had a hazy IPA which was okay, but the real fun was the Pacific Surfliner train going by….

One surprise is that they rebranded their amaretto sour as an Italian margarita! Trying to roll with the times in their own small way.

On a rainy day, a long time ago, I sat under this tree in Lafayette Park in San Francisco watching my three year old son stomping through the puddles. I couldn’t have been happier.

Yes, the political resonance does stand out. There are a lot of great characters like Mon Motha, the socialite rebel, and Luther Rael the rebel leader with a dark soul. Also, Dedra and Syril, are unlike any couple that you will see on any other show…

You can hike for miles along the beautiful coast of South Shields, England.

My son wants to live there someday. I thought he was crazy until I visited last year. It’s beautiful and I had the best Italian food ever. Go figure!

Not a spectacular vista but when you find a spectacular vegetarian restaurant with lots of gluten free options for my son with celiacs, you gotta share! Julia’s in Pacific Grove CA made a quick stop in Monterey feel like a special moment.

My wife managed to get this photo of the passing Christmas parade in Santa Barbara, and the inside of our favorite restaurant there, Los Agaves. I told my wife I would eat my hat if we could get a table during the parade. Apparently guacamole makes everything better…

I love that the reflection can confuse the eye and force the viewer to look harder at the image and begin to appreciate the contours of the hills and the contours of the water line. It reminds me of a print my wife bought me nearly thirty years ago of “our” place in Pt Reyes on Tomales Bay.

Thank you! We just bought our plane tickets to Bangor, ME. The Bay of Fundy Coastal Drive is a definite, so I’ll have to see how everything aligns. I would love to see the Fundy Tides and I’m sure my wife would love to see Cape Enrage. We have several prints depicting lighthouses. Here is one…

Sadly, Bidwell Mansion in Chico, CA was consumed by fire last night. Maybe arson. It’s a gut punch to a proud little city who treasured the house that was in the heart of their community. Photo borrowed from Diego Moctezuma of Action News Now.

Not exotic, but we recommend the Hyatt House in Santa Clara when in the Bay Area…on weekends. Convenient to SF, East Bay, and Santa Cruz and the weekend rates are reasonable. Also we have an adult son with Downs who loves the nearby Chipotle!

Both times that I’ve been to London I enjoyed my morning coffee while wandering through Brompton Cemetery in the Earls Court neighborhood.
