It’s my first 4th Of July back in the United States for over a decade, and I’m really looking forward to it. But a Newport Beach Fourth Of July on the Balboa Peninsula is something special. There’s the bike parade, the huge crowds expected at the beach plus street closures, special party fines and other [...]

After years of dreaming, I finally got to go up in an airship today. It was a wonderful flight, and a big surprise to discover afterward that legendary aviation design pioneer Burt Rutan was one of the pilots (shown on the right above), albeit briefly. The flight was amazing. I’ve flown over Southern California in [...]

I’m back from watching the Zeppelin Eureka take off from Moffett Field near San Jose on its trip down to Southern California, where it will offer tours there for the first time. Below, photos and video of the zeppelin, some hopefully interesting trivia plus how you can track it on its journey down the coast [...]

For the first time in nearly 100 years, a zeppelin is coming to Southern California. As an airship buff, I couldn’t be more excited! Unlike the commonly seen Goodyear Blimp, the zeppelin’s open to passengers. I’m going up this weekend! Don’t know a zeppelin from a blimp? Unaware of Orange County’s history with lighter-than-air craft? [...]

I’d never heard of Pita Pit until a trip to Mammoth Mountain a few weeks ago. It was a nice change from the usual fast-food options, pita sandwiches, custom made. So I was thrilled to see that one was opening just around the block from me here in Newport Beach, on the Balboa Peninsula. Yesterday [...]

I’m a regular user of the Balboa Boardwalk here in Newport Beach, a three mile strip of concrete that runs along the beach and is used by walkers, joggers, bicyclists, inline skaters, scofflaw skateboarders and others. For the first time in years, the future of the boardwalk is being seriously examined. Should it be made [...]

Feeling short of time. No problem! February, which normally has 28 days or 29 in a leap year (like 2008), is getting 31 days in 2009. Or so it seems according to the no parking sign above that’s been posted in the parking lot in front of the Newport Beach Pier. Enjoy those extra days.

My oldest son came home the other day, asking to shave his head. Shave his head? Turns out, a friend of his in school had a relapse after a first bout with leukemia. He has to do another round of chemotherapy with the resulting hair loss. So, some of the kids in the school decided [...]

Football guy is back! I should take a picture of football guy. He’s a sight to behold, somewhat middle aged, clad in a tight body-fitting yellow spandex top and trunks and matching headband (yes, headband!), he wanders the Balboa Boardwalk with a football in hand, looking for people to throw it to. Just random people, [...]

Throughout the day, people go through my trash cans. It’s a depressing sight. Among the streets of affluent Newport Beach are legions of trash pickers, pulling out cans, bottles and other recyclable material. Most are Latinos, recent immigrants or illegal immigrants, I would guess. Often they might be accompanied by one or two small children. [...]
