Beautiful SoCal day...typical tourist taking pictures of himself! 

Cool having a camera phone when you find yourself at the Big "A"! 

poem

I read a story
about two marines
boyhood friends
inseparable
Jeremiah and Jared
killed by the same bomb
in Iraq

they joined together
trained together
fought together
they were sent home
together
and buried
together

on Veteran’s Day

they died the day after
the presidential election
the outcome
irrelevant
to them

through my tears
of despair
I imagined beers
they won’t share
in backyards
they won’t have
laughing as the eight year olds
they were
when they met…

Haiku written while flying to Hawai'i

airline earpieces

i'm fucking with the volume
can't find a channel

Finally a day without rain...

We've been waiting for this for a while...mudslides...closed roads...jammed freeways...traffic accidents...

We're very close to the wettest season on record...and we have something like two months left in the season.

Dinner and Laughter

swirling time while we share
