After a morning trip to the gym - seven miles on the treadmill! - I went to a pool party/BBQ in Irvine. At 4 p.m., we packed up and went to Angel Stadium (pictured) to tailgate, see the Angels beat the O's, and watch fireworks. The night ended with a low-key party in Seal Beach. Good times, but I was whipped by the end of the day.
The weekend before, my motorcycle riding group rode 105 miles north to Big Bear Lake, a resort area at more than 6,000-foot elevation. We rented a cabin, explored the coniferous beauty of Big Bear - and of course partied (pictured).
This Saturday, I'm finally making my first trip of the summer to the Hollywood Bowl to hear a Henry Mancini tribute. Eight of us are going early to picnic.
