Oh Those Crazy People

I don't know exactly what it is with me, but people of all sorts are drawn to me. This makes for lots of interesting meetings and amusing interactions. Case in point, the photo above. My Parents and I were walking through Downtown Santa Cruz when this kid asked for a light. So I paused and helped him out, and then we got to chatting. Soon as the camera came up he was more then happy to strike a pose-




and then do a little dance

Santa Cruz is a great place to people watch. All sorts of interesting characters just roaming the streets without a care-

To Santa Cruz & Back

The trip to Santa Cruz and back was a mostly quiet affair. The Boy came into SFO early, which got us to Santa Cruz early. The next day was spent wandering Downtown and then the next day on the beach. I do love NorCal Xmases though. Just look how pretty they can be-












that's totally a red velvet seat he's got there...

And So it Begins

Today The Boy comes back from NC and we head down to Santa Cruz to celebrate Xmas. Xmas isn't either of our holiday, but it makes for a good excuse to go see Mom and in The Boy's case, take time off work.


Santa Cruz, CA









That's how I plan on enjoying my Xmas. The presents are all wrapped, Gremlins is on the tube and now all that's left to do is pack. See ya on the road.

Happy Solstice

Enjoy our shortest day of the year with warmth, comfort & happiness

Oh I Love This New iPod

So the boy and I had an iPod xmas this year. We each bought the other the new iPod Nano 16gig. Another thing to know about me is I'm a serious music addict. Don't believe me? Go See for yourself.

Since I had it in my pocket during Dickens Fair last weekend, I decided to test out the new video feature. Sadly, it took until today for me to figure out how to get the damn videos off the iPod.






I also had it while playing with Pixie and her boy J at the CA Academy of Sciences -







I think I like this new video thing.

A Night Out

We certainly kicked things off with a bang. The best part? It's only just begun and there's still the weekend to come. Hooray for Dickens!

The Place I Call Home

Home to me is the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a 3rd generation San Franciscan by birth, but I've spent by far most of my time in the East Bay. Berkeley, Oakland and the lands that lay beyond the Caldecott Tunnel are the places I know the best and spend the most time in. I do love these places like none other, and I also love to show them off-





















Tomorrow (or rather, today) we start things off with a birthday. A 21st birthday to be exact. stay tuned.

Getting to know you...

Getting to know all about you.

So... as I sit at my soon to be old desk at my soon to be ex-employer, I figured now would be a good time to get this out of the way. Here are some big things to know about yours truly.

I am a lover of events and odd people. Any event that's out of the ordinary, more then likely you'll find me there if I'm within 50 miles of it. Some of those from the past include:

The Great Dickens Christmas Faire-








LoveFest-








Ren Fair-








I am also a lover of the outdoors and interesting details. I'm always collecting images of little things that most people don't notice-














And don't forget signs. I spend so much time on the road that I've grown to love signs of all shapes and sizes-
















So, now that we have a better idea about the things that might show up here, I'm off to take some of my stuff to my car and wait on my exit meeting. Remember leaving is always sweet, it's the start of a new begining. Here's to the new begining and the adventure to come. See ya on the road.
