2011 !

Superstork 2011 Home Page

OK, it's February 12, 2011, and I'm just getting started on my 2011 pages but I have an excuse. The weather has been really nice! I've been outside playing tennis, growing lettuce, jogging on the beach at low tide, you know, outdoorsy stuff. But I've had so many of my fans sending emails and requesting that I get beck to business that now I must force myself to get rolling on 2011.

2010 wasn't such a bad year unless you take the economy or world affairs or the weather into account. We had more sunny days in January 2011 here in Encinitas than we had all last summer. I'm serious! You could look it up. Despite the economy, Lorri and I managed to buy a house only three miles from the beach. And only a mile from a Home Depot and a Best Buy. It's sort of a precarious financial situation. I keep thinking of things I need from those two stores but so far, no one has carted us off to debtor's prison. Do they still have those?

Have I mentioned yet that we're going to England, Ireland and France this year? Things are looking up!

Here we are on the bluff at Moonlight Beach.

This is actually a photo from 2010, December 31, our traditional gathering with our "Italy Group", our friends with whom we terrorized the Tuscan Countryside (and a couple of the larger cities) a couple years ago.

This is all of us. Happy 2011!

This is an example of how I've been hard at work. See those pieces of slate or flagstone or whatever under those chairs? I put them there! It was a tough and dirty job but now i get to sit there in the late afternoon with an adult beverage and admire my handiwork.

And another thing: I've been practicing my guitar playing. I've been told that I'm tone deaf, can't sing and have no rhythm but I don't let that stop me. So far, the neighbors have not complained. Their dogs bark a lot though.

 

Palm Desert in January!

One weekend we were invited to The Desert by our good friends, Dave and Wendy. We walked and walked and finally got there in time for happy hour. This is us walking.

We found a palm-lined oasis just outside of Palm Springs.

Wendy and Lorri are dwarfed in the palm forest!

A little later the posse caught up to us. They had horses! Why didn't we think of that?

See those things that look like ants? Those are people way down there!

Break time.

Too many shadows. I need to find a better photographer.

Whoa! I guess I just did! Who took this photo?

Later on back at the ranch, Dave was keeping an eye on the proceedings. Is that a crown over his head?

No wine on my shirt (yet).
