    Palm Desert

    August 30, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 104 °F

    Drove to the desert. A few days at Pam & Martins place. PF Changs and Golda. Then hanging out at the hotel and at the pool since Pam & Martin are sequestered in their home a mile away …. you guessed it, The C.

    Matt & Laura stopped by for 2 days. DInner, Blue Moon and then pickup Lee at the PS airport. Morning at the pool, then a new Apple computer for Lee and an evening with Oppenheimer.    Read more

    Last day in Palm Desert

    September 1, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 84 °F

    Cooled down BUT still over 100. Caught up on lots of topics at the pool (before the heavy storm with flash flooding came in) .... eventually calmed for us to go out to dinner.

    Lee got a new computer. Careful what you write, all the words are important. The best writers aren’t the ones with the best stories to tell, rather they’re the ones who know how to transform their small, particular stories into visceral magic.”

    “As writers we live life twice. We have a second chance at biting into our experience and examining it. This is our life and it’s not going to last forever. Slow down now, touch what is around you, and out of care and compassion for each moment and detail, put pen to paper and begin to write.”

    VEGAS- OmegaMart

    September 3, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    We had a "nourishing" breakfast at Bespoke which was really a necessary "breakfast of champions". Then we spent the afternoon at OmegaMart, where there were aisles of whimsical products. An experience in the new Area 15 of Vegas, by Meow Wolf, a company that says they create "open portals of possibility and redefine the paradigm of art and storytelling to make a positive difference in the world." Maybe true. Soo weird, creative, funny and interesting.

    Hint: Look closely at the product, product names and descriptions.    Read more

    VEGAS- BELLAGIO FOUNTAIN

    September 4, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    The Bellagio Fountains, in the resort’s 8.5-acre man-made lake with over 1,200 individual sprayers that are capable of shooting water over 460 ft in the air. “Minishooters”, “Extremeshooters”, and “Supershooters” are stationary and fire water vertically, while Bellagio’s “Oarsmen” sprayers move around and do the “dancing”. Timed with the music ... its incredible.

    VEGAS- LOST SPIRITS DISTILLERY

    September 4, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    A Modern Cirque show in a Rum distillery including a drinking Cocktail Party

    Different from just watching a Cirque, this one you wander through a maze of hallways, stages, lounges, and magical sets and stumble upon acts that include the audience in the experience. At the same time you get to drink their one of a kind rum that is 84-122 proof. WOW!

    Bryan Davis (who we met) is an American inventor and distiller. He is most noteworthy for inventing and patenting the first process documented to successfully replicate some of the effects of barrel aging of distilled spirits in a laboratory (the Davis method). Many articles have been written about his award winning rum that is made in a lab in 6 days rather than 2 years in barrels.    Read more

    VEGAS-LAST DAY

    September 5, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F

    Our 4 day adventure for Lee's 21+3 birthday ended on a high note. Lee & Karen needed one more visit to the Casino and since are staying at the Sahara and have played everywhere but there, it was time to visit their casino. Bruce decided it was time to sit at the pool for a hour and catchup on tennis at the US Open on the biggest screen in Vegas.

    We ended our visit with a "hefty" brunch for the road before we left Lee at the LV (Harry Reid) airport for his trip back to New York and our drive to Newpoprt Beach to begin the "search" ...    Read more
