It's really hard to summarize oneself for the general public. I mean, really, what does the public want to know about me? Am I married? Yes. Do I have children. Yes, three, and they're all grown thank God. (By that I mean parenting is HARD. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I'm really glad our offspring have all reached adulthood.) Do I have pets? Yup. Two dogs. Since the kids are all grown, you'll read more about my dogs than my kids. Because that's what happens when you get old like me. I have three grand kids, too, so you'll read about them as well. But the dogs live with me and, when I am desperate for blog topics, they usually help me out.
Yes, I am STILL making my way through images from my visit to San Diego last year.
This post is about Ocean Beach. It’s a bit grungy, but still worth seeing and experiencing, especially since it’s one of the places in SD where you can see tide pools.

Palm trees line the main drag.
The Ocean Beach fishing pier is older than me!
The pier extends 1,971 feet out into the ocean. See those giant rocks? That’s where you’ll find the tide pools at low tide. If you’d like more info on the OB pier and tide pools, here’s a link.
