Thursday May 14, 2020 Ok. I confess. We took a break this week because well, I wimped out. I didn’t feel like dealing with the rain. Or call it fallout from Covid-19 anxiety. Take your pick. Both are true. Like most, I’ve had my fill of news and politics. I have to turn it off. …
Monday May 11, 2020 Yesterday was Mother’s Day! A day to relish in our own family accomplishments (be they human children, fur babies, or other extended relationships) and to enjoy memories of our own mothers. Everyone has a mother so the day is one we all share. My day started and ended with my wonderful …

Friday May 8, 2020 Today brought a nice balmy, foggy morning that later turned to sunshine. As Baxter and I circled the headland I realized something.

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. …
Thursday April 23, 2020 Baxter and I randomly changed the time of our walk by 20 minutes which may just be the sweet spot we have been looking for. It was a quiet morning on the headland and the adjacent beach. We pretty much had them to ourselves. There were other people around but not …
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 …
