    On Sunday afternoon, Rae and I attended the wedding on Supriya and Mitchell at the San Mateo Garden Center. Though I’ve attended numerous Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s growing up in San Diego, I had never been to a Jewish wedding until this weekend. Rabbi Ari Cartun did a great job…

    Last school year, I received an email from the principal at the Mt St Patrick College in Murwillumbah, Australia. He wanted to show his students my Year in 60 Seconds movie to impart the wisdom that “every day is special” and emphasize “the importance of memory.” I created a slower,…

    I returned Tuesday evening from a month-long trip to Europe. The highlight of the final weekend was the inaugural Worldwide Newton Conference 2004, held at the Hungarian Institute in Paris, France. 8 years ago, I remember practicing Tai-Chi in the mornings right in front of that building! At the time,…

    Going through 3200+ images and finding the best ones to tell my European story is taking longer than I expected. I really dislike going through page after page of thumbnails and images. I’ve filtered down to about 1000 images. My goal is to have several hundred to share with you…

    Weigh yourself before and after a cruise, and it’s a safe bet to say that you’ll be heavier afterwards. While you might not need to be rolled off the boat, you’ll definitely need to walk or exercise a little bit more to burn off the pounds you packed on during…

    The Celebrity Cruise’s Constellation is a huge cruise ship. When we arrived at the pier in Dover, England, I was astounded by the size of the ship, “Look at the size of that thing!” I figured it was nuclear-powered instead of gas turbine-powered! With a crew complement of nearly 1000…

    Growing up in San Diego, one would expect to see a lot of boats visiting the coastal town. Still, I don’t recall ever seeing as many large boats as I’ve seen in the places we’ve visited on this cruise. Sure, there are tons of smaller personal boats and military vessels…
