While I am not much of a consumer of wine, I do like to explore the culture of California farms and wineries. The girlfriend and I took a day trip to Temecula Valley to explore one of the closest wine country locations to Los Angeles. It was a bit of a rainy day so the fields and vineyards were not all that great, but it also kept the crowds away. Since most of the...
Of all the electronic dance music styles, Trance is my favorite. Last year I heard about this event and decided to buy a few tickets last month. Turned out to be a fun Saturday night of dancing.

Why are we in Vegas again? Because it is so darn close! Also, I had the miles and points to fly there for free and spend three free nights at Marriott. So…Why not, eh? We went to see the mustangs…

I had an extra week of vacation this year and had not really planned out my usual fall trip. I love traveling in spring and fall because of the cooler temperatures and smaller crowds, especially as children have returned to school thus the family vacation season is over. I decided to head to Japan to visit my best friend Zach and then spend a few days at the five...
I told myself last year that I didn’t really want to run the Long Beach Half Marathon again, but changed my mind and decided to go for the Beach Cities Challenge one last time before I go after my Rock N Roll Heavy Metal Challenge in 2020. This is the third year I have run this course and it was still most enjoyable. Here are a few photos from this race. In the...
My sweetheart surprised me with a gift of a ticket to the Rise Festival in the Mojave desert near Las Vegas. I’ve seen videos of this event where paper lanterns are lit and fly up in an amazing display but have been curious about what it is like in person. We had driven to Las Vegas the previous day and enjoyed a short trip to Freemont Street. As the afternoon...
This week I have returned to my original city for a week of work at a conference. I have somehow also stumbled upon one of the best weeks of Ohio Fall weather I have seen in a few years. Enjoy!

Annually, my girlfriend and her closest group of friends take a long weekend to Vegas. While we were already here in May for EDC, it is a nice short drive from SoCal, so it can be a good, quick getaway. For the most part, the trip consisted of walking the strip, enjoying a night club, and lots of fun food and drink. A new experience for me on this trip was to take a...

Due to the long distance from LA and SA, I find splitting up the trip with a night of restful sleep in London makes the journey much easier. Also, I get a rare opportunity to take a walk of one of my favorite cities.
