Venus, Jupiter and the Moon

Yes, these are not leaves... but it's very cool. It has palm trees in them. Close enough for me.

Next time this alignment is going to happen... 2052.

Huge 12 inch yellow leaf

I know it's a little hard to how big the leaf is without anything to compare it too. This leaf was about 12 inches wide. It just good out when I walked past it.

New Haven snowman dies

The snowman didn't last very long. The warm heavy rains melted the snow quickly.

A photo was taken every 10 seconds to create the time lapse.

Victor's Cafe in New York City

Snowy and windy day in New York City (Forrest Hills).


We ate Atuthentic Cuban food at Victor's Cafe in Times Square. We both had delicious steaks. I had the $10 churros for dessert.


After dinner we went to a dress rehearsal of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with James Earl Jones as Big Daddy. The acting was great. The set and lighting could have been better.

Peer Gynt at The New Theatre

Valerie working wardrobe on Peer Gynt at The New Theatre. The show had 85 costumes!

Six more weeks of winter

That's what Punxsutawney Phil predicted when he saw his shadow this morning. This year, his prediction will affect us because... we have a real winter. I don't believe Phil. It's been a mild winter so far. Only a few days with snow.

The movie Groundhog's day was on. I watched it in HD. This movie is becoming one of my favorite movies.

License plate

Took me... FIVE months to finally register the car, but officially only 60 days (ahem).
Goodbye California. I'm still a Angels Baseball Season ticket holder.

Bike collector

Not sure why this truck is full of bikes. My guess would be they remove bikes that are locked in one space for too long.

Ensenada Cruise

We went on a cruise to Ensenada cruise to Mexcico on Carnival Cruise lines. For the most part the cruise was great. Valerie was sick (cold). We didn't get sea sick from the motion and did not need to take any medication for it. Lots of food, but the food was ok. It wasn't great.

We wanted to go horseback riding in Ensenada, but got rained out. Bummer.

Safety first.


Three bingo cards for $20. We didn't win.


I didn't want to pay for the outrageous internet rates on the ship. So when we were in Ensenada, I paid $1.50 for a newspaper to look up a Lakers score. Lakers beat Philly.


We went to this little shop on the port. It was raining so we didn't want to go to town.


Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!


There was a $10 sale in this shop on the ship. It was packed with women. Valerie (the super shopper) gave up because it was hot and she couldn't move.


We were on the official cruise video. They played it in our room to preview. I just took a photo of the video.




Ship is docked in Long Beach.
