Hello

Here’s the middle, floating section of an appropriately titled piece, “Music for Two Big Instruments.”

A few weeks ago when my mind was lost among minor worries while watering the plants on my deck, I became aware of a loud hum approaching from the south. Squinting into the sunlight, I looked up from the pots of palms and colanchoe and was jarred to realize that I was about to be directly under the coastline-hugging flight path of a very, VERY low-flying Goodyear blimp. I stood in amazement as the huge vessel loomed closer and louder and the yellow letters blazed increasingly larger against the blue sky. As the airship neared I could make out every window and started trying to count rivets; the beast was at best 200 feet above my head.

But this was a friendly beast. The pilot must have seen me poised there, still grasping the garden hose (which now looked like some sort of pathetic weapon I was readying to deploy in an effort to protect the homestead from blimp attack). Suddenly enormous bright red LED lights flashed across the side of the dirigible, shouting, “HELLO!”. I waved and smiled. More big red HELLO! followed. I grinned, all the while wishing I had my camera, to capture this unusual close encounter. But I certainly wasn’t about to dash inside and separate myself from the glee of the moment. Connection comes in many odd forms.

A couple of days ago as I sat composing at my desk, I heard a familiar hum. I paused for a few moments while I quickly saved whatever file I was working on, then palmed my camera and headed to the deck. It was a very hazy afternoon, but sure enough there was my fat new friend, much higher up this time, traversing Paradise Cove from the north.

All I can tell you is: imagine the blimp in this image literally four times larger, clearer, and straight overhead, and you’ll have an idea of the impact of what a really big hello can do to brighten one’s day.free anime movie pornmovie free blowjob 89 blowjob 89 movie free spanking movie freefree 89 sex stripper moviestailer porno movies freemovies tencrazycocks.com freemovies virgin freefree voyuer moviesxxx card no free movies credit withmodels 3m teenstories sexy americafreeporno absolutlyporn amatuer camcord adultsex uploads tube you amatureporn 7 secondxxx picks flicks amateur pornanalytical alpha Map

Reflections on the end of summer

Reflective notes for reflective sand.

It’s a privilege to have the great fortune to live in a place to which people from all over the world flock during their precious vacation days, and I have always been happy– eager even– to share this beauty with everyone. But I’m as flawed, selfish and human as the next unevolved creature. I admit that once Labor Day weekend has passed, and with it the official end of summer, I exhale in a kelpy sigh of relief that this beach and its denizen (the crabs, anemones and me) are once again left to their own rhythms.

I spend far more time on these sands the other nine months of the year. Malibu’s summer weather is the least compelling of the seasons, and the lowest tides tend to fall during the wee hours of the night, making communing with the exposed sea life rather difficult. Autumn and spring bring a clarity that is endless and stunning, and the intermittent storms of winter, paired with the ebbing afternoon tides, are the best drama around. Summer, by comparison, is a hazy and dull watery view that, while a major improvement over the 100-plus temperatures of the San Fernando Valley just over the hill, offer fewer moments of revelation to those like me lucky enough to be revelated daily.

Summer is a funny annual private benchmark. Each June I gleefully compile an impossibly long list of all the personal music projects I intend to accomplish by September 1st. And each September 1st I am hilariously disappointed by the woefully small number of said accomplishments I’ve been able to check off from my computer desktop’s Sticky Note list. Within the course of my professional work, there seem to be more external demands and requests during the “school year,” thus giving me the perceived luxury of focusing on my own pet projects for a couple of warm months. I don’t think anyone has ever referred to me as unambitious behind my back, and so as you might imagine, the long, inspired litany of Things I Want to Accomplish This Summer would be, to most, a silly and unrealistic daydream. And yet each June, at least to me, that list represents a possible reality.

I did get a lot of things done this summer. Not even half of what was dictated on my list, but then again, had the list been far shorter, perhaps I would have only managed half of that. I’m glad to always have so much I want to do that I’ll probably never get to the end of the Sticky Notes, no matter how many ends of summers I get to see.

Different perspective

A sketch of a tune of mine called “Longing for You.”

A kelpy visitor who creates beautiful photographs, Mike, commented on the post below: “It is difficult to achieve a feeling of need in a round object. A sphere (composed of an infinity of circles) is complete in itself…. Swivel the view (of the ball) 45 degrees to the left (or right) so there’s a view of the surf/sand margin melting into the distance.”

Okay. Request granted.
It’s always useful to be aware of differing perspectives.

Can a ball feel wistful?

Stairway to heaven

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Enjoy the music in your mind…

A number of the Very Large Homes (VLH) on the Malibu Riviera bluff have their own beach access, usually contrived of a rickety ladder or staircase leading to, of course, a Very Locked Gate (VLG). The cliffs in many places are close to vertical, their base drenched by the demanding saltwater of some high tides. If you happen to have the misfortune of being down here when a tsunami hits, well… good luck. Run for the nearest ladder and hope that your ability to scale a chain link fence is honed.

If it weren’t copyright infringement, I’d include a clip from that all-time classic Led Zep tune. You’ll just have to hear it in your head.

Here’s a brand new clip from “Desert Tide” to accompany this very wet one.

Ok, back to Paradise Cove for the moment; a contrast to the far calmer waters of the north. Today was another big surf day! Large swells from the south plus a good amount of wind, made for drama as well as some colorful sights.

My favorites, of which I sadly did not snap any photos, were seeing very large groupings of parasurfers (a small parachute you hold on to for dear life while standing on a surfboard as the wind blows you fast and perilously across the open ocean and occassionally far above it resulting in a sudden reminder of the effects of gravity and just how remarkably concrete-hard water can be when a human body slams into it at a certain speed) with their brightly colored chutes soaring overhead…

…and wind surfers (a sail on a surfboard that also requires far more upper body strength than most normal humans posess and yet the utter fun of hanging on and zipping across the waves makes you forget how painfully sore your arms and torso are going to be in about 17 hours) swarming on the ocean like gorgeous clear by-the-wind-sailors (that’s a very cool little creature) .

Got all that?

Wish I had pictures. Inland readers will just have to Google the terms for reference. And I’ll just have to go out again tomorrow and have a closer look. Another musician friend from the east coast is coming to visit and stroll the shoreline with me, and who knows what we’ll see….

“Dream Vista,” for this dreamy vista.

The view from the ferry going from Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, to…. yes, that island named after those killer dolphins, Orcas. Not a bad commute, with Mt.

Unabashedly undeceptive.

Sounds like a football maneuver, but it’s one of the more stunning views into the San Juan Islands. Nothing deceptive here in the least; it’s really this beautiful.

A little “Reflect,” for this reflecting vista.

So, where in the world did I just travel? Antarctica? The Arctic?
Nope.
I just love sights like these from airplanes. Welcome to the view from the flight along the Pacific’s edge early Saturday morning. Poking up from a vast, icy-looking marine layer of mysterious low clouds are the Channel Islands just off the coast of Santa Barbara. Beckoning, as do the islands you’ll see featured here later this week. As I often suggest to my guitars: stay tuned.personal 100 credit guaranteed loan bad100 financing construction loans100 financing loans mortgagemoney loan home 100 equityloan property investment 100mortgage no 100 payment loan down100 loan percentrehab loans 100 Map

Some of “Dorian Mood” for this very green food.

And you thought I was kidding all this time about the title of this blog?
Voila, a nice big root ball of kelp. Yum!

This serving will have to hold you all until Thursday; we’re off to the San Juan Islands, to discover what the kelp in cooler waters looks… and tastes… like. Full report upon my return.
Until then, eat your veggies!

A buried relic of a TV theme for an NBC pilot I scored years ago.

I love observing the unexpected results of the incoming tides. Here’s one such surprise, stumbled upon as the near-full moon drew the ocean hard against the cliffs. Guess what it is, and I’ll send you a little present from Paradise Cove.loans c aaa l lbye byes mp3 49mp3 suit 3k4am bay bridge mp3acca loan scheam study4clubbers children mp3balk mp3 3lamp3 4d cut Map
