Mini Golf

Antioch, CA

John got paid today so we went out and mini- golfing. John won. I won't say by how much, but he definitely had the lower score.

Heavy Heart

Antioch, CA

I wanted to take out a brick and give it to Nina.

Skate Park

Antioch, CA

This marks my third attempt to go to a skate park and catch skaters doing tricks. This is the third time that as soon as I show-up (an outsider) the park clears out. So That's it! I'm done trying to catch a picture of skaters.

Random Food

Antioch, CA

I'll be honest. I totally forgot about PAD today until about 10 minutes before the day ended. So here is a "random food" shot, as Nina likes to call it.

It's time for change

Required Reading

Antioch, CA

Nina and I made a deal. I thought there was a book she should read. She thought there was a book I should read. Ironically, they are written by the same author. She read The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I'm reading Tuesdays with Morrie.

More Rain Reflection

Rain drops keep falling on my head

Alviso, CA

I find it funny that I had to come back to Cali to get weather.

Gu's Cooking

Springville, UT

Gu always cooks the best food for me when I'm in Provo. Tonight was this along with London Broil, Baked potatoes and home grown tomatoes. I was in heaven.

Donner Lake

Donner, CA

I stopped at Donner Lake on my way to Winnemucca to take a picture. I haven't been to Donner Lake for over 21 years.

Banana Bread

I made banana bread today.

You Scream, We scream, I scream for ice Cream

Antioch, CA

John had a craving for Baskin Robbins tonight.

Pile o' shoes

Antioch, CA

Yup, it was one of those days. My girlfriend and I had an argument, my insurance ran out, I got a rejection letter from a job I really (REALLY) wanted, I flunked the CSET practice test, and my roommate was late for dinner so I had to eat alone. So here is a very uninspiring pile of shoes for you.

Happy Birthday Brother!!

Fremont, CA

Any one want to guess how old my brother turned today?

Candles

Some other angles to help you guess.

Baseball

San Francisco, CA

My dad got free tickets for tonight's Giants game off of Craigslist.

It's official

Motorcycle

Pittsburg, CA

I spent the morning in Berkley at BORT, an organization that provides activities for people with disabilities. On my way home, I was in Pittsburg when I saw that Devil Mountain Harley Davidson was having an open house. This is the reason for the whole bunch of beyond the cuts.

(Beyond the Cut - Pictures of Dogs for Nina & Melinda)

Guide Dogs

These are either guide dogs for the blind or companion dogs for people with disabilities. (I mainly took these pictures for girlfriend Nina and good friend Melinda)

**The reason the fifth one is blurred is not my fault. The dog decided at the last minute to lick its nose.
