Going to California- Led Zeppelin




"Going To California"

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.

Photo Shoot

The Counter!










Merici, Laura and I went up to Palo Alto a couple of weeks ago to check out a photography store. Once there, Merici rented some lighting equipment and we had a photo shoot at my apartment. It was a Mad Men theme, with me dressed as a boy and Laura as my 50's housewife. Some of the pictures are from another time Merici took some photos of me
Also, when we were in Palo Alto we ate at the Counter and had the most amazing fries and burger!.

Big Sur Half Marathon-5k!




Laura and I ran a 5k on November 20th, 2011. We both finished under 30 minutes!
This week we have another 5k, titled a Jingle Bell Run, for arthritis. We might go as Elves!
