As of today, it’s official. I have moved into my Burbank Bungalow, and am a free, tax-paying resident of the state of California. The past three weeks of my stay in Simi Valley has been quite extraordinary. I have truly seen God do works in my life that would not have been possible [...] [Read more →]
Just want to remind people about the Photo Gallery section of this site, and I’ve added a new feature for that page today. Geraniums and Wrens, a musical Karen and I wrote and produced, now have pictures that are in this section. This whimsical show focuses on relationships and how fragile, distorted, and endearing they [...] [Read more →]
Like many Americans, I’ve been watching some of the Olympic Games. You can’t help but be in awe of the athletes and their performances. Years and years of turmoil and sweat is poured into their lives as they hone and perfect their respective skills. The seconds and minutes that we see on [...] [Read more →]

Even though I’m starting to sort things out, there’s still some dust that has to settle from the road I just traveled out to Cali. If there is a time to reflect on the past several weeks, this would be the appropriate time, because later I will probably too wrapped up in launching [...] [Read more →]
Last night marked the end of the WhaleBone Tour, as BJ gave his swan performance (For the WhaleBone Tour, not permanently) at the Rancho del Rey Church in San Marcos, CA. It was definitely one of the better shows I have seen him perform. His timing was impeccable; the risks were calculated just [...] [Read more →]
One of the things I decided I would do when I got out to California was go shopping. Buy California clothes. Just start to blend in with the locals. Today, I did it. Bought some shirts, sandals, shades, etc. I’m taking major steps in my evolution into becoming Californian. [...] [Read more →]
The anticipation was rising as we crossed over the mountains that separated the Imperial Valley and San Diego. After a week-long journey, we finally were reaching California. In a matter of days, the final destination of Los Angeles would arrive, but coming to San Diego was an important milestone in this trip. [...] [Read more →]
