Dog Days


This weekend I was in Tucson. I decided to bike up Mount Lemmon starting at my house (2800 feet) and riding the 25 miles to the top (8200 feet). About 1 mile from the summit, a black Honda CRV passed me, honking with the cute dog hanging out the window. It was my sister, Leslie - who had driven from Phoenix in the early morning to join me atop the mountain for breakfast. We had a great breakfast at 8200 feet where the temperature was 67 degrees. After breakfast we drove down going from 70 degrees to 103 degrees in just 30 minutes. Needless to say KD (the cute border collie) had to pull her head inside as we rolled up the windows.

New York: art for art


I went to the Guggenheim museum in New York city this past weekend. I spent time with probably the four best people in the world (my friends). I love seeing this work of Frank Loyd Wright as it is probably the best design art museum I've visited (and I've been to many all of the world). What I like about this museum is that it is a piece of art itself, yet it doesn't take away...but amplify the art within.

Twins Diving


This weekend my twin sister came into town. She has ALWAYS had the dream to go scuba diving for a long time; so heck...I sent her a plane ticket to Miami, signed her up for the Open Water Certification class with South Beach divers and this weekend she became a PADI certified diver! Here she is eating up the conclusion of her first two dives...while her dive buddy next to her just did his own private fish feeding tour (a tad sea sick after those 3-4 foot swells). It was a good weekend. I did a little recreational diving with them...taking pictures of the adventure. I love my sissy.
