Happy Valentine's Day! Please enjoy this lovely picture of Santa Catalina Island, 26 miles across the sea. It's the island of romance, romance, romance, romance.

That damned song has been stuck in my head for over half a damned century, along with many other godawful songs of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Romance? It's a quaint, sometimes a bit tacky... And it's a great place to take the kids, they love it! If that counts as romance to you.

Please excuse my ingratitude, but it sure looks flat. Might this be a job for the new drone-camera? A different perspective?

  A few hundred feet wouldn't make a difference at that distance. I need an airplane. Or a blimp.

The last (and first) time I was on Catalina Island was Caltech frosh camp, September 1974.

I think Santa Cruz Island is more interesting.

No kidding, Glen Larson, fountainhead of an endless stream of shitty TV, was a member of The Four Perps [sic].

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
