Prospect Park

Cruise up Cajon between the stately palm trees and past the cool old Craftsman houses and you wind up at Prospect Park. It’s one of my favorite places.

Guilty pleasure

I love the NFL Draft, which begins today. It’s my guilty pleasure.

Iron Bridge

My destination was the Iron Bridge on Greenspot Road in Highland. It’s more than 100 years old

Texas dreamin’

I shouldn’t be in Highland writing this. I should be at a hotel in Allen, Texas getting ready for the wedding of my unofficial daughter-in-law, Felicia Lopez.

Olive Ave

The quarantine blues enveloped me, so I crossed the wash and headed for the old part of Redlands and parked on stately Orange Avenue. This is my favorite part of the city.

Capitola days

Back in the early 1980s rents were low and you could find incredible places to live for not very much money.

Historic District colorful, fascinating

About a half mile from where I live is the Historic District of Highland, one of the coolest areas in the county.

Easter like no other

Anyway, the Mass was nice — a gorgeous venue, beautiful singing and some nifty close-ups, such as artful shot of several dozen lit white candles. Of course, we missed the in-person experience we usually have at St. Adelaide’s, but that will return soon enough.

Down for the count on Mitty Way

Long story short, the Monarchs won the game (don’t they always?) and I was sitting in the Mitty dugout interviewing Yocke with a tape recorder. Just then I started feeling dizzy, but I was still asking questions and then … the lights went out! I passed out.

Sunday mornin’ comin’ down

Finally arriving at Seafood City, we found a line of 20 mostly mask-wearing people outside. They were being admitted four at a time due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic you may have heard about.
