Typical Canadian humour. We all need laughs.

Every year a friend of my neighbor's sends him tulips. This year's lot is particularly beautiful.

Loved the SF Ballet's recent performances of 4 ballets by Dutch Master choreographer Van Manen. Modern but in the classical tradition. Beautifully executed by the company.

The first-ever Motel6 in Santa Barbara has been carefully restored and decorated to 1950s glory. It is a delight, steps from the Beach. 1950 dollars aren't invoked, sadly.

A beautiful day at the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens.

Alison Saar's installation at DesertX in Palm Springs was a hoot and also carried an important message about our values.

Alison Saar’s witty and poignant contribution to the Desert X sculpture sow.

SF Ballet's production of "Raymonda" last night was a visual and technical success. The dancers executed complicated routines with precision and emotion. The story line is thin and the ballet would benefit from a little judicious editing but Bravo! to the new artistic director and the team.

Welcome home!

Good to see you the other day. Sorry to miss this Friday's ride.

I can't believe the difference in driving at night after my cataract surgery. No glare. No halo. What an improvement.

You're kidding. That is terrible! I'm not sure how Bluesky is going to work. I'm just feeling my way around.

Spring is arriving.

Good morning. My first post. I'm looking forward to building a group of friends here.

Yes. Getting used to it. A little unclear.
