Well, as a few people have already pointed out in the comments, it's been a year here at 'caliblog'. This same time last year, Amanda and I were only a few hundred miles outside of Hollywood, crashing at a cheap-hotel in Vegas. It doesn't seem like it's been a year - I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing, but whatever it is, I'm glad we did it all the same.

It was really rough there for a while - emotionally - it's a hard thing to adjust to, overall I'd have to say it was a good five months of 'weirdness'. I'm not really sure what else to say about our year anniversary, we'll have to come up with something cool to do, if anyone has any suggestions, let us know.

Instead, I think I'll share a few things I've been meaning to post: These pictures are about a month old - but Amanda just got them got them developed... we took them when Tim and his friend, Jade spent the night here before leaving the next afternoon out of LAX, but that's a whole different story for a different time [or when 'Will & Grace' isn't on the TV behind me].


So, keeping this quick: here's a guy building a huge sand-castle - strange thing was he was probably the only other person on the beach that day, usually it's packed in Santa Monica.


Here's Tim and I posing for the girls by the pier.



And, just to be funny, I thought I'd post this picture of Tim and I from four years ago during our first bike trip... looking a little rough. I can't imagine what the people taking this photo for us must have been thinking.


Here we are sneaking up on the guy making the giant sand-castle...


I know this is a boring picture - but the painting and the wall besides the stairs were cool.
