This large llama stood right in front of our Jeep. Other llamas surrounded us. They all wanted food. In order to move on, I had to ease up. Stop. Ease up. Stop. Ease up. Stop. After about 10 minutes of this, the llama allowed us to pass.
Freshly made bagels with freshly made cream cheese and Costa Rican coffee for breakfast at the Crestline Bagel Company.
Playing in the pool at an upscale health club. The body wash in the shower was decadent.
Spicy Pineapple Pizza and $5 Bloody Marys at The Slice for lunch.
Eating with gusto
Live local music, food trucks, vendors, and dogs at Do Dah Day. Also there was the too drunk to be walking around around alone lady who came up and joined us for a minute or five.
This morning I was happy to enjoy a couple of hours trail riding with these two awesome humans and three cool horses. It has been a couple of years since my last ride and this was an excellent time spent on horseback with friends.

Faceless Portrait
My great uncle Claudius from the 22nd Century. He is an early leader of the migration movement. As eyes and hearts opened, the portals between the verses started opening too. The Powerful Cheeto regime, which has been in power since the early 21st Century, disdains the freedom seekers and desires to end their escape into kinder gentler versions of reality. Uncle Claudius must remain anonymous to continue to #resist.

1. Babies
I almost had a wonderful weekend with my <1 year old grandson. Talk about fun. All that beginner’s mind, curiosity, unconditional love, unbridled joy, and newness is awesome. I can’t help but happy being with someone so fresh from “what is not this”. Maybe I’ll get another opportunity.
2. OD – The Order of Disorder
It doesn’t get much more Zen than this. I want to be a boobiesattva.
3. Answer change
I am usually carrying around at least two cameras. As a result I’m often asked, “Are you a photographer?” I’m much happier now that I answer “yes”. That doesn’t mean I’m a good photographer, but I do travel around taking photos on an almost daily basis. That is one of my primary creative activities.
Share the joy. If you want to, tell us something that made you happy this week.
1. The little people in my life
I am blessed with a lovely little girl, a handsome boy who often travels with me, and a precious new baby boy. I love each of them and they bring great joy to my life. It is amazing how different we all are. It is equally amazing how much we are the same.
2. A 2001 black Jeep Wrangler Sahara soft top
I didn’t buy it new. It had almost 60,000 miles on it then. Now at 102,000 miles it’s still rolling through the dirt, mud, sand, potholes, rocks, and road traffic. It’s nice it is not new. I don’t have to note each limb that scrapes the side or each parking lot ding. As long as this beauty is cost effective to repair we will be partners on the journey.
3. The Toca drum I found in a pawn shop
I am not partically musical but I think I can beat out my rhythm (however erratic it may be) on a drum. People have told me I travel to the beat of my own drummer. Now we know they are right.
Crystal Wilson posted a nice status about finding a new holiday normal after the loss of a loved one. 15 years after my divorce and there is no new normal. 6 years after my parents died, still no new normal. No new traditions. A lot of disconnection. I wander about.
