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.

Winter in Orange County

We spent the holidays in O.C. It doesn't excuse the inactivity here for a whole month.

Here's a photo of a tree in late December. It still has leaves on it.
