I’m out in California right now and I took a ride out through the desert to Joshua Tree (The town not the national park) It was an interesting ride and again the scenery looked better from the road. There was this smoggy haze all over so what I was able to see while out there on the road was pretty obscured overall. I caught a couple of Harley shops too and was very excited because one had a diner, however it was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. So lunch as a run for the border. Not so good.

Today the staff art show opened and my photos went up. So there may be some folks visiting this blog who went to the art show. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you thought of the exhibit. I can’t wait to hear how Allison, my parent’s, Tara, Neil and Andrea liked the show. (I’m sorry if I left anyone out who went I wasn’t sure on who exactly was going.) I was unfortunately not able to attend and I’m a bit bummed out about that. I would have liked to have seen the show and to have gone to dinner with my folks and Allison after the show. If you want to know more about the exhibit I am talking about you can check out my past post on 500 photos … 500 days.Here is another photo from today.

Had dinner tonight at BJ’s Restaurant Brewery. For the East Coasters: no, the giant warehouse club does not have a restaurant. This is a pretty good little brewhouse that has an pizzeria Uno feel to it. I wasn’t up for a beer because I still have a lot of work to do tonight but I did order one of their Chicago Style Pizzas. The restaurant is right outside the door of my hotel so the walk was very quick.

There are some beautiful views but again the best ones are from the car. I’ll try and get some shots of the area tomorrow when I’m, hopefully not as stressed out.

Today’s travel did me in a bit. I hope to run through the demo a couple of times tonight and refresh my memory before tomorrow.

While I was on the plane and in the airports I had lots of time to write up some posts and I posted them up along with three PayPerPost entries. That got me a little relaxed.
