I needed horseradish. I also needed a bike ride. I could have gone to the supermarket that is a five minute walk from here, but I really needed that bike ride. Besides, what if I got the wrong kind? I know a deli out in Marina del Rey that should be able to tell me …
This time of year people like to give other people stuff. I guess I can appreciate it to some extent, but at some point, don’t we have enough stuff? To be honest, I think most of my friends and relatives really have enough stuff, so I try to find something a little different to give. …
Okay, maybe the skies were not exactly blue, but there were blue patches. After a week of rain the patches of blue caused as much excitement around here as the dove returning with an olive branch must have caused on Noah’s ark. My photo of the day for day 356 is of the local seagulls …
Have I mentioned how wet it is around here lately? It is getting more and more difficult each day to find a piece of land above the water to walk Buddy on. As you can tell by my photo of the day, Buddy is not too bothered by it.
I am sure, as a child, you were told to not play with your food. I know I was. Of course, no one suggested that I should not take pictures of my food. Besides, sometimes the presentation of the meal is almost as much fun as the tastiness. Heck, I would be kidding myself if …

Yes, this non-stop rain and wind is taking its toll on some of the neighbors Christmas decorations. We are supposed to have two more days of this stuff, so we will see who puts up the most durable decorations. My photo of the day is of Buddy checking on the welfare of a local Christmas …
One Christmas, when my daughter was a young girl, she informed her mother and I that she did not want any Christmas presents and that she would prefer if we bought gifts for the less fortunate. Now, this was not just some idle rambling made by a pubescent teen, she actually ended up getting her …
I broke down and bought myself a Christmas present this year. I am not sure how long it will last, but with all my travel it should last through the year. My photo of the day for day 351 is the answer to the age-old question to how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if …
I often tell passersby that Buddy has never met a day he did not like. Granted, there may be the occasional rainy morning, but he still is more excited about them than I ever am. My photo of the day number 350 is of Buddy, kicking up his heels, in celebration of a new day.
