The Day at the Pier
Earlier this week we were trying to figure out what to do on the weekend. The weather was great so my wife and I thought, even though it’s January, “Let’s go the the Santa Monica Pier.” The Santa Monica Pier is located at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica and is a prominent, 100-year-old landmark in... »
Rose Parade 2010
Is there a better way to start off the new year than to go to the Rose Parade? There might be. But this year, there was no better way to celebrate the new year than to head down to Pasadena, California, and find a spot on the parade route. One of Skye’s students... »
Normal Battery Installation for Hummer H3
Okay, here are the details of installing a battery for the Hummer H3. I got home and installed the battery as fast as I could. My son was with my wife at “My Gym” so I had about 45 minutes to get this battery in. Installation should take about 15 minutes, it took me about 30... »
Story of the Battery
Early December I thought to myself I might be in the market for a new car battery. The last couple of nights getting out of the car the interior lights seem to turn off prematurely and each time I thought to myself, “hmmm, I didn’t turn those off.” Now since it’s happened a few... »
New York Trip, Cold Spring Harbor – Day 4
Continuation from our recent trip to New York, back in May of this year. Saturday started off a little late. It was nice to sort of sleep in. Because of the time change Skyler wasn’t getting up until 8am. That was pretty cool, only thing about that is that we had a... »
2009 New York Trip – Day 3
Friday, May 22nd The Bayard Cutting Arboretum The morning came much too fast. Skye had things to do with Charlanne to prep for the wedding on Sunday so Skyler and I were on our own in a “foreign land.” At first we just got in the car and headed out to go find a park. Luckily... »
2009 New York Trip – Day 2
Day 2 – Thursday, May 21st New York Arrival – JFK Airport We landed and waited for everyone to filter off the airplane. It is much easier that way. It always cracks me up how when the lights in the cabin announces you can take your seat-belt off, everyone jumps up and grabs all their stuff... »

Amboy Crater
Back in March of this year, I was driving through the Mojave to the Grand Canyon. Years earlier, my friend, George M. and I were shooting a highway student film out this way on Route 66 near the town on Amboy, California. We had hiked up the volcano with my old pal... »
Oatman, Arizona
Earlier in March, my parents and my son had been following my Wife’s choir tour to the Grand Canyon. On our return home we decided to make a stop over at Oatman, Arizona. My wife and I have been there before on our waterskiing summers at Lake Mojave about 15 miles away north of Laughlin. ... »
