new hobby...
i dove in (pun intended) to the world of saltwater reefing. here's the nascent shots of my tank. i'm watching the live rock grow and soon i'll have some little critters swimming joyfully in there. it's a good adventure and learning process to see life burgeoning on my wife's dresser drawer.

the many faces of me...
i'm not sure if it's the mentally-corrosive smog in the air or my sudden weight loss (you know which one I'M voting for), but i've been approached lately by a few folks who seem to have a good idea that i resemble someone they've seen on the telly...
who are these dashing celebrities so privileged to be associated to my likeness, you might ask?
1997--accosted on the street by an eager fan believing i was THIS actor from days of our lives
1999--again, accosted. this time by a young blond woman wearing a white tanktop which once might have fit a goldfish but at this point was straining to make it past her bulbous belly...she believed with such certainty that i was the man below that i was forced to give her an autograph...i signed it "M&M: The chocolate flavor"
2007--the accosting thing is getting old. this time it was by a Hispanic gentleman at a local wine bar. after repeatedly asking me whether or not I was Mexican (hey, Dad, dosen't that make you proud?), he continued on to tell me I was very handsome and he confused me for a Mexican soap star. I say all this of course to build up my own ego----but more importantly it serves as background for the next time I visited the bar...he told me the fellow's name was Ari Telch....so, what do I do when I get home? Well, I showered, ate a small snack, talked to Booyeon AND THEN i hopped onto google.....a couple of keystrokes, one click and WHAM! my self-image sank faster than the Titanic with a fat guy strapped to its bow...
2007---AGAIN--and the latest was this guy. apparently i star in commercials on the side bragging about my relationship with J-Love.....i'm not sure I'm even that good of an actor....
Check out the 'celebrity' commercial: http://myfaves.com/tv-commercials.html
if you haven't figured it out by now, this post has been nothing but a poorly written diatribe aimed at blatant self-promotion....but then again, would you expect anything more?
who do you think i look like? let the deprecation commence...

the sunset in high contrast

sleeps with the fishes
Today we sadly witnessed the passing of our beloved friend, Bear. Bear was our absurdly active and absent-minded Bala Shark who spent his days admiring himself in the tank's glass and avoiding the bullying advances of Monkey, his fellow watery companion.
Bear brought joy to all who knew him and he won't be easily replaced. Well, actually, he can quite easily be replaced for about $5 at the local pet store. But though we may soon be giving his fish pellets to another short-finned beauty, it'll be hard to say goodbye to such a dopey yet loveable buddy.
We'll miss you, Bear. ("Not me!" says Monkey. "Woo hoo, more room in the tank!")

the big sur turns 30...
14.5 hours driving time. a little over 1,000 miles.
and what do I have to show for it except for a bum knee and the overwhelming urge to buy a car with an adeqate suspension system?
check this out...
our gear, thanks to radu....
cows grazing next to the PCH....odd stuff...
good fish restaurant in morrow bay serving shark next to a really big ocean rock...
the best beach ride...
campsite...
"fast hands" charlie hustle the cook...
kyle's best impersonation of dad....
kyle evaluating the campsite...
elephant seals doing what they do best at the beach...
turning 30 years old and still smokin it up...
some ocean view...
the sound we fell asleep to with the brook outside of our tent...
this is me by the end of the trip...
