Image
  On Saturday October 17, 2026, I had the great pleasure of going to see the band Vulfpeck with my son Matthew at the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA.   For those of you that may not be familiar with Vulfpeck, according to our best friend Google, they are “an independent American Funk-Soul band and musical collective formed in 2011 by University of Michigan alumni Jack Stratton [keyboards, drums, guitar, vocals and songwriter], Theo Katzman [guitar, drums and vocals], Woody Gross [keyboards] and Joe Dart [bass].”   They also add some frequent collaborators, like Antwaun Stanley (singer-songwriter), Cory Wong (guitar), Joey Dosik (sax, keyboards, vocals and songwriter), Evangeline (singer) and others.   Most notably, in 2019 Vulfpeck cemented their status as a major act by selling out Madison Square Garden in New York City, without a manager or traditional record label.  They regulary tour the US and Europe, but they don't do a bunch of shows, so ...

And the Prostate Saga continues… Prostatitis, anyone?

Well, that darn prostate…  Since I had my Rezum procedure back in August 2020, and being on three meds (Flomax, Cialis and Finasteride) for my prostate, I’ve been really happy with my ability to urinate, and I feel pretty much normal.  So, on Monday the 21 st of September, 2026, I was peeing just as usual, a reasonable stream, and not too much work to get the stream going.  On Tuesday the 22 nd of September, 2026, it seemed like my stream was getting a bit weak, and I really had to focus to get the stream going (singing a song in my head, running the water in the sink, sitting down on the toilet to pee, etc.; many of you older guys may have similar tricks).  However, since everything seemed fine on Monday, I wasn’t too concerned.  Nevertheless, in the afternoon on Wednesday the 23 rd of September, I couldn’t pee at all, even though I had a terrible urge to pee, and it really stung when I tried to pee.  Fortunately, my urologist’s office is just a 15-minu...

The San Clemente Certified Farmer's Market Logo Well, since we were going to the annual San Clemente Classic Car Show on Sunday, the 20 th of September, 2026, it also happened that the San Clemente Certified Farmer’s Market was also taking place, since the Farmer’s Market is open every Sunday, 9AM to 1PM, rain or shine!  The Farmer’s Market, which is an open-air market, is located at the 200 th block of Avenida Del Mar, in front of the San Clemente library, as we were going south on Avenida Del Mar, checking out the cool cars.  The  San Clemente Certified Farmer’s Market is held on Avenida Del Mar, between Ola Vista to the east and Calle Seville to the west.  The San Clemente Certified Farmer’s Market was founded in 1994 in order to bring fresh produce to the residents of San Clemente.  All farmers are certified by the Orange County Department of Agriculture, and strive to bring the freshest produce possible to the market.  This is a big deal; the Certi...

Going to the Annual San Clemente Car Show, Sunday September 20, 2026!

The flyer for the Annual San Clemente Car Show, Sunday, September 20, 2026 So, being a car freak, I took Kathy with me and we went to the Annual San Clemente Car Show, which was held on Sunday, September 20, 2026.  The San Clemente Car Show celebrated it’s 30 th anniversary (it started in 1995), and as usual, it was a great event.  The location is the historic San Clemente downtown on Avenida Del Mar, which is in the heart of town.  For this event, Del Mar street is closed off between South El Camino Real and North Calle Seville, and it is perfect for enjoying the cars, all the spectators, the vendors and the music.  The car shows draw around 15,000 spectators and showcases over 250 vehicles, including classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, exotics and rare vehicles of all sorts.  The event is also judged, so the participants put forth a lot of effort in making sure their cars look their absolute best.  In my opinion, this is one of the coolest events in San...
