Too Much is Just Enough

About Me

You'll find me enjoying: Seaside sunbathing decadence slathered in fragrant home-brewed ultraviolet magnifiers ... mountaintop picnic hikes, especially in the San Gabriels exploring ruins of the Mount Lowe railway ... photography, mainly of friends, travels, and my beastly Defender 90 "Green Ganesha" ... squeezing buckets of limes to fill gallon jubs with fresh margaritas ... engineering lazyness-facilitating high-tech gizmos ... travel way off the beaten path, often to pristine stretches of sugary-white Caribbean sand ... high-octane caffeinated chat ... my soporific massage table facing the cozy fireplace (I'm a highly reciprocal massage junkie!) ... remote wilderness hot springs ... anal-retentive kitchen cupboard reengineering ... airborne offroad adventures (my tires have a pesky habit of levitating).
