Ocean Beach is one of the most fun parts of San Diego. Here we see the view west from a few blocks up Pescadero Avenue. I’m looking forward to winter. When this neighborhood gets a few inches of snow, people snowboard down the hill, off the ski jump and into the ocean, and then catch [...]
This rather nervous-looking cat was named Dracula because of his fondness of going for the neck of anybody wearing perfume. They all had it coming. Already I have featured one of the other weird cats from the spring of 1974. Don’t worry, there’s more where this came from! We had 12 cats in the house [...]
Here’s a picture of Kay Ross that I took at the 1978 Hollywood High School graduation. Mrs. Ross was the debte coach for many years. She worked with me and with many of my friends. It’s interesting to note that she looks far younger in this picture than she does in my memories.
Maybe these ducks are not exactly in a row. Maybe it’s more like a cluster. I like them. This photo is another artifact from our recent sojourn in Big Bear.
The summer bar examination begins a couple of weeks from Tuesday. In between helping my students prepare for the exam, I am preparing new video and new written materials for the winter bar exam season. My materials are better than those of my competitors. Unfortunately for me, some of my commercial rivals are more accomplished [...]
Here’s the first picture of my parents as husband and wife, taken June 18, 1953.
And here is the last picture, taken on November 28, 2002.
The next administration of the bar examination is at the end of July. Here are links to a series of videos I have produced over the last few days. You are welcome to click on the image, above, but doing so will have the effect of merely opening a copy of the image in a [...]
This evening we went to Canyon Crest Academy to see some of Emily’s classmates stage a musical. A fine time was had by all. In my day, we did not have bar codes on high school theater tickets.
In many ways, Torrey Pines Beach is far more enjoyable than is Venice Beach. It is not crowded by development. The adjacent wetland is protected and today is in better shape than it’s been in for many years. I’m not as close to this stretch of sand as I was back in Venice, but as [...]

My family and I enjoyed another fine performance presented by the Lyric Opera of San Diego.
It turns out that the safest, freest beach in our survey of beaches is the one closest to home. At Torrey Pines Beach, the water goes bad near runoff locations, but that’s about it. Since there are no posted warnings about sharks, cold water and rip tides, we can trust that these dangers never occur [...]
