I saw the moon for the first time through a telescope tonight. I took this picture with an iPhone 6 by putting the camera up to the telescope lens. It seems the older I become the more I realize just how fantastic and absolutely beautiful the world is around me.

La Misión de San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo
Took a trip to Monterey/Carmel over the weekend. The aquarium was fantastic as usual but I was especially happy to visit la Misión de San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo.

For me, the visits to the missions here in California elicit a different type of emotion that they would…… Continue reading La Misión de San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo
New favorite song
Just discovered this song. For me it elicits very strong images/emotions of my time in high school. Aren’t we all dreamers? I think when the dreams start to die we’ve become too old.

The Inner Voice
It is now 9:33 pm and I am forcing myself to write this post. With two kids all personal time is effectively gone and things I enjoy doing are rarely done. It is incredible how we take the abundance of free time for granted when we do not have any responsibilities without realizing that it…… Continue reading The Inner Voice
