We spotted the ocean, at the head of the trail...

Santa Barbara's own Toad the Wet Spocket. Oh yeah, 1991, back in style.



Of course nothing tops hearing Justin and Bill play and sing this as well as many, many other songs down by the Niagara River, at Rooney's in Fredonia, 109 Chautauqua, etc. Good stuff.

Nicole and I enjoyed take out Thai food from down the street yesterday to celebrate her safe return to CA. We ate delicious food as she told me about her fun adventures back in MA. I swear it tastes much better than it looks in this photo.

Before this weekend we'll look into getting Nicole a proper pair of trail runners. This is critical since she is going to do an 18k mountain run in late March. Her brother Jeremy got her a pair of sweet running shades too. Maybe she will model them for everyone in a future post.

And that, as they say, is that.
