#37: Watch a Sunrise.  Everyone was up bright and early for a sunrise stroll on the beach.

Challenging hike. Proud of my dad.

With 15 minutes of being here, Sean cut his finger deep enough to change the course of his vacation.

Feeling somewhat responsible for the injury, Kaden waited here while his dad was at the ER.

Not a bad place to stay for the week.

Look forward to a week long celebration worthy of your longevity.

Had dinner at the hot Hawaiian joint, Mud Hen Water. Meh. Drinks were good though.

A two night hang in Honolulu before we begin to celebrate the Pa’s 70th.

I can blow spit balls at the back of her head for the next five hours.

Took a couple of episodes, but then I got hooked and binged watched two seasons.

Doing our best to get her hamstrings in game shape.

Good to be a son and a father today.

Supper club in Malibu.

“Training” with my daughter. Too fast for pictures.

With such a busy week ahead of us, it’s only natural that Rio had to go mess up her eye and require our undivided attention.

​

Post workout lunch. I never thought I’d say workout and Vegas, but we continue to surprise ourselves.

Freshly caught fish for lunch. 

#84: Go to at least 3 work shows

We finally got picked up by a popular showroom. It solves our issues in one region, but our backs remain against the wall. Atlanta proved to be dead on arrival, so we are pulling out. Hopefully we’ll be back in a showroom by August. Or maybe Basically Me rides off into the sunset. Place your bets.

This salt shaker is ready for take off. I wonder how long it will take Alaskan Airlnes to kill the awesomeness of Virgin.

Always a great show.

Meet Me In Paris, a quaint French restaurant that didn’t disappoint.

#19: Read 10 new books

Speaking of favorites, Jim Harrison is right up there with Hemingway for me, and finishing his ode to food was a perfect way to spend the day.

RIP Ali

Brittany’s end of the year meeting with her coach went well for all of us. Full scholarship her senior year! Whoop, whoop.

Blew up a pic I took in Africa for the living room. Tennis Court Zebras.

Joined a Supper Club. Tonight was a rare champagne pairing dinner with electric harp entertainment. The champagne was worth the price of admission.

Just finished season three of Peaky Blinders on Netflix. So good. It is truly the golden age of television. The Sopranos took on film and it has been a blood bath ever since. Here are twenty TV shows in no particular order that have aired in the last few years that I believe to be better than 99.9% of the movies released on the big screen.I could probably do forty and still be in that percentage.
