We spent Friday evening with my friend, Cathy. We have been friends since she saved my butt in 1971. She did not even know who I was, but she went out of her way to keep me from killing myself. There is no one that has known me longer and we have the history to prove it. My photo of the day for day 317 is of Tanya, Cathy and myself at a beach north of Eureka, probably by Humboldt.
Tanya and I decided to go check out the Redwoods since she has not been more than 50 miles north of San Francisco. We started off nice and early in Novato and the day’s weather was amazing. Uncharacteristically so. My photo of the day for day 316 is of Tanya and I at one of the many roadside attractions found along US Highway 101.
As I mentioned, Tanya is back in town, so we decided to move to our personal cone of silence, the Charger, and discuss the future. I know that will be misinterpreted. Anyway, we headed north. This photo was taken at our dinner stop in Beullton. We should have gone to Taco Bell instead.
So, Tanya came back to LA for the first time since my Movember shave. Her first words? “What did you do with my boyfriend?” Perfect. So, it is settled, the grow back begins December 1 or else we are going to have to redo our logo, t-shirts and business cards. My photo of the day is of Tanya trying to make me resemble the guy she left a few weeks ago.
For the life of me, I can not understand why people have thought that me shaving was a good idea. I am hating this new look and I can not wait for December when I can start growing a beard again. My picture of the day today shows how scruffy my early morning walks have become. As a reminder, I have committed to growing a moustache this month to raise funds and bring awareness to the many cancers that affect men. Contributions are being accepted all month, so if you support the cause please visit my page on Movember.com. Thanks …
They say we are in an El Nina weather condition which is supposed to mean less rain than normal. I wonder what it would be like if it was an El Nino. I would probably have to just let Buddy go for morning and evening swims. My photo for today is of a rose in full bloom with the remnants of the early morning rain.
I am not really sure what it is about mud and water, but Buddy sure has a knack for finding both. I can only presume it is part of his grooming process since he will spend the next few hours cleaning himself up. My photo of the day for day 311 is Buddy after finding the only mud in a one mile radius.
It is not easy to make a real contribution to society, but I feel I have done my part by through my children. Both of them have devoted their lives to helping others. I could go on and on about how much better they make this world, but them you would just think I was a bragging father. If you spent five minutes with either you would know it was more that just me being a proud father. My photo of the day for day 310 is of me with my daughter and son. This is my contribution to making …
I had not been to Gu Gu Sushi in a couple of weeks for some unexplainable reason, so Catherine (my long time friend and assistant) went out last night to celebrate her birthday. Luckily, we both enjoy Gu Gu’s sushi. My picture of the day for Friday is the latest version of the gotbaddog.com roll. The original version was quite timely to prepare, so Song has been modifying it as he goes along. This is actually a great dish for someone that is just getting into sushi and is not comfortable with the whole raw fish thing.
It seems like only yesterday, or last week, that I was complaining about how wet it was around here. Now, I am noticing several of my Facebook friends complaining about how hot it is. It is really easy to tell which of them have not lived here long enough to figure out that this is LA. This is the time of year that we shine, literally and figuratively. My photo of the day today is of the view from my front porch as Buddy and I headed out for our morning walk.
