From 2001 until last year, I had the pleasure of not going to a Glitter Gym. When I was a homeowner I had my own home gym. No mirrors, no TVs, no treadmills and no soccer mom rock (Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, etc.). My gym had free weights, no air conditioning and had Marilyn Manson [...]
I just finished reading the book Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton. It’s a book and an online test. The authors have isolated and defined 34 distinct strengths or themes common with people. Their thesis is that we all have a top five that best matches us. And that in [...]
Today I hiked the 2300 foot ascent of Mount Woodson in Poway. Last November I did the East Approach which is an easier 1200 foot climb. The last time I was at Lake Poway was July 2001. Note that if you go to Lake Poway in the summer on on the weekend and [...]

This question sometimes throws people. They think they need to just lose 10 pounds, when the reality is they [...]

I am guilty of the fact that Cowles mountain is the only real hike I’ve done in San Diego.
When I was [...]
Yesterday we went out to the northwest corner of San Diego County and hiked The Calcite Mine trail inside Anza-Borrego. After a 1.4 mile hike along a jeep trail, make a left into a long series of slot canyons. If you are not an advanced hiker and wish to see some slot canyons in San [...]
Most people visit the San Diego Zoo on their first or second day in town. I waited almost 7 years. It was a very cloudy and gray day, so the photos didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped. I will go back soon and take more photos. And by soon, [...]
