Where once posts rained like ice cream they now fall like hail. Lyrical jam sessions always get a little fuzzy when Bonham brings his special incense.

Hello again, rockers and rockettes! Retirement’s been treating me pretty well, although I’m starting to suspect that having too much free time is a genuine medical condition. Over the past few years, I’ve tried sailing, painting, photography, and even learning to fly. My garage is now a museum of expensive hobbies that lasted about three […]

High end beach chairs are built to handle salt, sun, sand, and repeated use over a long beach season. Rust-resistant frames, durable fabric, and hardware designed for outdoor use are part of what separates them from chairs that start falling apart after a summer or two. That durability does not make them maintenance-free. A chair […]

Hello again, rockers. Today I bring you a tale of sawdust, panic, and the kind of homeownership education nobody asks for but everybody seems to receive eventually. It started with a little pile of something on a windowsill near the guest room. At first, I thought it was old plaster or some strange attic dust […]

Hello again, rockers. I recently did what every retired man with too much time, too much curiosity, and too many scenic properties eventually does. I bought a drone. It was a DJI Mavic, because apparently that is the law when you are entering the world of consumer drones. I wanted it for a little aerial […]

A few years ago, I bought a place in Sunset Cliffs for the same reason most people buy a place in Sunset Cliffs: I saw the view and completely lost my ability to make rational financial decisions. The house overlooked the ocean from what felt like every possible angle. The sunsets looked so absurdly beautiful […]

Welcome back, friends. Retirement has given me two things I never had enough of in my touring days: time and the dangerous confidence to invest in other people’s dreams. A buddy of mine had opened a little coastal brewery not far from the beach, the kind of place with good light, better beer, and enough […]

Retirement has turned me into a collector of experiences. I’ve tried sailing until my hands smelled permanently of rope, painted landscapes that were kinder to my ego than my talent, lugged cameras through deserts and alleyways, flirted with a pilot’s license, learned drone operation, and even spent a brief, ill-advised stretch paragliding. Most of those […]

Lately, I’ve had this nagging feeling that my age is finally starting to catch up with me. Not in any dramatic way, but in small, irritating moments that stack up faster than you’d like. Workouts that used to leave me energized now leave me winded, and yoga sessions that once felt meditative have started to […]

I grew up in a little beach town tucked along the northern California coast, the kind of place where the salt in the air clung to your clothes and the evenings always smelled like eucalyptus. Before I ever dreamed of stepping onstage, I’d sit in my bedroom listening to vinyl records while the ocean wind […]

I was born in a sleepy California beach town up north, the kind of place where the fog would roll in thick every morning before the sun burned it away. The ocean was my playground, my therapist, and my muse. Long before I ever picked up a guitar, I’d sit on the sand with a […]

About Me
Hello and welcome to my blog! I mainly use this space as a creative outlet to reminisce about my life and report on the daily goings-on of an eclectic, yet very wealthy, older man.
