Happy New Year!
Just a short note to wish everyone a Happy New Year and prosperous 2020…thanks so much for reading and commenting on my posts this year – I jump all around, from food to music, movie, travel and more.
I posted 380 stories in 2019, with this being the most viewed:
Well, how could I go wrong? Southern California’s unique “Super Bloom” was covered on TV, locals newspaper and all across social media…this photo I took was actually used by the Associated Press!
If you missed it, or just want to re-live nature at its most beautiful, you can click here:
I began a “Cult Movie Monday” look at my favorite films in 2019, and this one was the most viewed:
“My Kid Could Paint That” is the story of Marla Olmstead, who achieved fame for painting incredible art at an early age…and this documentary is a fascinating and sobering look at the truth around her story…you can read more about it here:
I also posted stories about traveling to Joshua Tree National Park with my wife Alex to see nature making faces at us:
So many faces in the rocks, you can see more here:

Was it worth the wait? Click here to see:
I also shared a weekly “What The Friday!?!?!?” Most of you were disgusted by this one:
Yes, you were all disgusted by the “Clam Chowder Popsicle”…how do I know? Because you told me!
Still, if you want to relive it again, you can by clicking here:
For those who are also my Facebook friends, you know my birthday is December 31, so remember as you toast to the New Year, you are tossing a little my way as well!
Thanks again for reading – I appreciate it!

Happy New Year, and here’s to an exciting 2020 with lots of adventures! Still, with an election year coming up, it’s important to remember what Bette Davis said:

Seeing that clam chowder lolly has made me feel ill all over again!
(Nothing to do with too much red wine and champagne last night of course…)
Looking forward to more of your great posts in 2020, John.
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, we had a four course meal that took 4 hours, washed down with lots of wine, then attended a karaoke party until 3a…no clam chowder popsicles ever again I swear!
