Water Peter
August 4, 2025
Having nothing to blog today, I’m going with throwback water shots.
Redfish Lake, outside of Stanley, Idaho.. July 2001
Dillon Beach .. September 2001
Dillon Beach .. November 2002
And on that same trip…dad teaches son tricks of the trade…
A guy who’s comfortable in the water.. and a dad who’s biding his time reading.. but obvs keeping an eye on our floater.
One of my bathtub faves. I almost went to Facebook jail for posting this nude; I got a strongly worded warning after they removed this from my wall.
Swimming in Matt and Michael’s pool…
Contemplating Tamarack Lake in the Desolation Wilderness above Echo Lake.. this was his longest hike to date: 4 miles (round trip, I believe). July 2002.
Not sure where, not sure when, but I like this one…
Artist at work.. Dillon Beach, this time with the Cavins,
At our Moab cabins pool on a trip to the Southwest with the Bolles in June 2007. Life is Good, indeed… what a shot.
Death defying leaps across the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River in Yosemite, 2014. He’d best not miss that landing…
Just a few more.. in slightly more modern times… this one on a beach not far from Mar-a-Lago, unbelievably enough.. in 2015, just before things got bad. We accessed this beach from a Palm Beach neighborhood.
Kayaking on Mission Bay in San Diego, circa 2018, I’m thinking.. he was at UCSD then.
Canoeing on Echo Lake, August 2011 ..
And this is in Redondo Beach during the braces years.. I’m thinking 2012 or 2013.
“2/3 Moved In”
August 3, 2025
Peter sent some pics tonight.. the end of a long move-in weekend.
A before shot of their studio apartment:
And a couple in-progress…
That couch is courtesy of Lisa and Claire. Incredibly nice offering!
First dinner…
Peter said tonight that they are 2/3’s moved in.
Prouda them!
Limited Missions Accomplished
August 2, 2025
I love when the only things on my to-do list for the day are: workout, catch-up blogs, go to dinner with Jim and Janet. My kinda day.
I’ve spent most of this day either at the [very sparkly clean and comfy] patio table where I actually fell asleep while doing my NYT puzzes, or in the [also very clean and sparkly] rocking chair on the deck while drinking my daily banana-applesauce-blueberry-chocolate-tangerine juice smoofie. (I know.. I call them puzzes.. and smoofies… don’t ask me when I got so cutesy).
Tough day.
I don’t have a picture to illustrate such Saturday productivity.. so check out this optical illusion.. what do you see — the one thing or the other?
Move In Together Day
August 1, 2025
Officially, today is day one of Peter and Maya’s new life together as cohabitants. I have no pictures yet.. they’ll probably be doing the lion’s share of the moving over the weekend (Aug 2 and 3), so I can’t really post anything real.. except maybe this from Zillow:
It’s a 700 sq ft studio apartment with an unusual bed arrangement.. is all I really know.
Here’s my picture of them — taken on our most recent trip to A2 last month or so — as they walk into their future. 🙂 Not really.. they’re just walking back up the hill to their place at the Escher Coop as we were taking off for the airport to fly home. (Always sneaking a pic when I can…)
Anyway.. I’m very excited for them. ‘Bout time, I’d say.
