Author's Day

Jessica and other students wrote stories and then read them aloud to
other students.

Arab Coast

This is one I took circa 1980.  I was using a 110 camera, probably a Minolta.  Definitely not HDR.

Cut the principal in half!

The PTA sponsored a magic show at school where the main attraction was the magician cutting the principal in half.  We hope he used a special saw.

Taking a Leap

Bad Day to Own a Boat

This unfortunate soul lives on his boat and had moored it to a buoy
last month while he went to Las Vegas. Unfortunately for him the buoy
was outside the harbor and a storm came in while he was away. It sat
on the beach for almost a month until this day (March 20) when the
moon was the closest to earth it had been in a decade and the tide was
the highest it had been in a decade...

I have always liked the '70s decor inside the library.  The fountains can be deafening at times but the white noise is definitely a good thing.

Huntington Beach Public Library

I have been spending a lot of my evenings here.  Hopefully it will be worth it.

Snowman

The night before I left Kristiansand it snowed.  I felt compelled to stop and make a snowman, even if it was a small one, before I got on my plane.

Amsterdam Bicycles

Bicycles are everywhere in Amsterdam. It is really a wonder to behold
that more people are not run over on the streets by bikes. It is a
fairly small city by LA standards and very flat so you can get just
about everywhere on bike in a reasonable time. Despite the narrow
streets they have dedicated bike lanes separate from the street in
many places. It really is a great place to ride a bike.

The Albrecht Family

The girls will probably never do a silly pose for me again but this is a classic.  I had a great visit and really enjoyed getting to know the girls a bit.  Last time I met them they were still babies.  Now they are wonderful young ladies.  Greetings from Onkel Brett.

Zese Germans are Krazy!!!  No April Fools here, these guys are for real!
