Palm Springs

On the last handful of vacations, I have had good intentions of taking snapshots to document great food, cool design, interesting landscape, and overall good times. Then I get there, take a few pics, and realize that I need to unplug. I want to just live it, and not struggle to document it (which often impedes the natural flow of living it). So, it is another balancing act, I guess. Such is life.
Anyhoo- my recent trip to Palm Springs was great! All of the above: great friends, good times, cool design, tasty food, new experiences, blooming desert flowers, etc. Few pics because of the aforementioned need to relax and just be. That and the fact that I was in water much of the time, at the pool, jacuzzi, or in the rain.

Lunch, brunch, cocktails, hip places, and friends

Palm Springs is an interesting place. Close enough to San Diego and LA, but feels far away from reality when you're there. California is such an extraordinary place; so many different worlds are right here, within a 2-hour drive! There I go again, getting all sappy with Cali-appreciation again. I will need to go back to the desert again before it gets too hot.

Great mini-holiday

It was a Holiday because any day that I don't have to clock in at the office and freeze my buns off under the fluorescent glow, staring at a computer screen, is a holiday!
Many pictures to post, many foods/wines to review, lots of well documented walks on the boardwalk, along the beautiful California coast. As a teaser to all that (coming soon) here's a picture of Otis at the Inn, catching the sunset.
