Frozen on Alyeska & the Downfall of Onimusha

A few weekends ago I flew up to Anchorage to visit my brother. I always enjoy visiting him because we have such a good relationship. While there, we decided to go to Alyeska, both Saturday and Sunday for some snowboarding (Aaron skied). Saturday the weather was reasonable, although the mountain was pretty crowded. Sunday was a different story. Being that [...]

Sunsets before Rainstorms

As I came in to work early today, I got to leave early as well. Often times on my drive home I get to watch the sunset, but rarely have enough time to make it home and hop on my bike to make it down to the beach to snap some shots. I guess I was a little lucky, as [...]

Looking down the barrel: ’008

So it’s been awhile, but I am back. 2008 was a hard year for me, with only the very beginning of the year being truly happy times for me. The rest of the year I spent slowly spiraling down into a dark existence, hitting rock bottom right around the end of the year. In the past year, I’ve lost most [...]

2008 California State Propositions

So it seems Californians: want a high speed train (this sounds good, but i somehow imagine tickets will initially be so expensive that hardly anyone will use it, plus i can also imagine it will take forever for any of this to become a reality) don’t like confining farm animals (i can see the price of veal, pork, and eggs [...]

The First Time

I remember it like it was yesterday, it was two days before Valentine’s Day and we were sitting on my bed talking and laughing together. She was wearing her pink & white striped tank top, still one of my favorites to this day. Unexpectedly, three little words slipped from her mouth. It was clear she hadn’t planned to say that [...]

365 Days of Missing

On this 12th day of Cheshvan marks my mother’s yahrzeit. It’s difficult to fathom that’s it’s been a year since she passed. Sometimes it seems like I was just talking to her on the phone the other day, but most of the time it feels like an eternity. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her. So [...]

53 Years Ago

Fifty-three years ago today, Bernard & Leona Davidson gave birth to Marsha Hermione Davidson, my mother. I know exactly what I would give her, a big hug. I wish I had made more of an effort to hug my mom more. I wish had spent every year with my mom on her birthday. The more your mind matures, the more [...]

Pumpkin Soup

I always used to think I didn’t really like soup. While I still think that’s partially true, a better statement is I don’t really like watery soups. With that said, I made pumpkin soup yesterday (and again for breakfast this morning) and it was yummy! The hardest part of the whole recipe was the cutting and peeling of the pumpkin. [...]
