Friday, May 1, 2020 Jack Russell Terriers absolutely love, and I mean LOVE their people. They would defend you to the death. They are fearless and loyal. On a leash, they take their job very seriously. The leash is their cue for guard duty. Baxter is no exception. I have no doubt that need be, …
Thursday April 30, 2020 We were out the door early this morning and rewarded with a quiet, beautiful walk thru town and up and around the headland. Our city streets and yards blanketed with cherry blossom petals due to last night’s wind and rain. Baxter and I had the headland to ourselves and I tried …
Tuesday April 28, 2020 This morning’s walk had a different vibe to it. The balmy and foggy weather may have contributed to making this morning kinda surreal. It may also have been due to the obvious increase in activity this morning. Baxter and I got out the door about 30 minutes early which should have …

Monday April 27, 2020 It was a quiet morning in the neighborhood, on the headland and the beach. The kind of morning I relish and hope for. The ocean was very flat; a great morning for kayaking. As we circled the headland, a single CA sea lion could be heard barking on the southern end. …

Tuesday April 21, 2020 There’s nothing like the solitude that a morning walk provides. I’m not alone in my thinking. People all over the world relish this peaceful part of the day. In our community I have observed four general types that define the morning exercise crowd: the 8:30 group that meets daily on the …
Monday April 20, 2020 Ever since I learned about the pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest on our headland its been my quest to see them. Today was my lucky day. As Baxter and I started our ascent uphill, they appeared in the sky above. Grace and beauty flying near us. Two days before Earth …
Friday April 17, 2020 Today was a reminder that there is a lot of good in the world. The signs were everywhere along our route today. People chatting while practicing the 6 feet+ social distancing. Displays of civility and good neighbors wishing each other well thru the use of prayer flags and a second fence …
Thursday April 16, 2020 It’s funny how a little thing like changing direction can also change one’s perspective. This morning Baxter and I walked up the headland to find that the city had reversed course now asking trail users to go counter clockwise.
