1. I graduated with BS in Geology from Mississippi State University. Although I got a good education and thoroughly enjoyed my years at Mississippi State, I should have stayed in California to get my geology degree. Why? Because, to...

I was thinking of getting outdoors on Saturday... Clark County Wetlands Park and/or Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. Or maybe even making a day trip to Death Valley.
But, alas, there's rain in the forecast. I don't mind hiking in a bit of rain, but it's not a good idea to take the cameras out in the semi-heavy stuff they are predicting for the weekend. And...

From the blog homework Wayback Machine @rambo, @missy, @lyxzen. I don't dress up for Halloween often. We don't usually go out on Halloween and no one in our small circle of friends throws Halloween parties. So if I do, it's usually because there was a costume contest at work.

I posted this in the Writers group in the Poems, Lyrics, Etc. thread but got no comments or likes. Maybe I'll get some love and feedback if I post it on my blog.
I've written quite a few songs, but only a few that I consider worthy of recording a demo and sharing. This is one of those songs. I think it's one of my...

Another old blog homework topic (@rambo, @missy & @lyxzen) ... I pick the ones that are most interesting to me (and hopefully for the rest of y'all to read) and I actually have something interesting to say.
Short answer... Yes.
I grew up in Southern California, a mecca for running into famous people. Most of the famous people I've met are athletes.
I'm going to...

Thinking about heading out to Death Valley on Saturday (or another Saturday very soon) to shoot landscapes, sunrise and wildflowers. There's supposed to a fantastic bloom of wildflowers this year because of all of the extra rain from El NiƱo this year.
When I go, I plan to shoot one roll of slide film with my ancient, fully manual Konica SLR and the rest digital...

This is an old blog homework topic: If you could go back in time and change one thing from your past what would it be?
It's an easy one for me, but hard to say that if I was actually presented with the opportunity that I would do it knowing how my life has turned out so far. Because it's been a good life so...
