I know what you mean about the weather. I was out there for business Mon/Tues/Wed. We flew in Monday morning and it was raining cats and dogs. There was anywhere from 8" to a foot of standing water on the roads between the airport and the rental cars. Yuk !

One of our clients is right in Simi Valley so we were there too. We went across and west on the highway to Simi Valley Town Center and had a late breakfast at the Corner Bakery Cafe. I love the banana oatmeal they make there. Yum. Glad you had a great 'unplanned' day.

Speedster thank you! My wife has found the fountain of youth! For being mid 40's she gets accused of being a sister to my 22 year old all the time! She is as sweet as she is pretty. If you are in Simi feel free to drop a line and hook up. Love to break bread with you and buy you a pint o' the ol' ale!

Thanks Robert. I got lucky with the sun. As they say...photos are half luck, half lighting and composition and a little bit of help from the camera. I hope you and Debbie can one day meet my wife and I together. Unfortunately my wife is teaching on CamFest weekend so she is not able to attend. Unless something crazy happens with mother nature or ??? I am making all attempts to be there. I just found out that one of my best friends based in Phoenix is getting divorced after 30 years so I won't be able to stay with him. Ugly story for sure. UGH! :(

Yep, you definitely have to get some orange shades (preferably wayfarers..lol) Here's my recently acquired Blue Challenger-matching Ray Ban Clubmasters! (unfortunately not avail in orange-but they make a very cool Clubmaster "Catty" for women in orange that your wife might like!

Regarding baseball hat, Lids stores offer custom embroidery. You can also do your own online thru their site though its more limited than going to the store...

PS-Lids has an ongoing, "buy one, get second one half price sale"....So you can get 2 really nice custom hats for around 40.00!

Jim, here's a quick work up I did on the lids site. "100% juice" is on some vintage OJ-brand bright orange skateboard wheels I have!

Derby thank you for your compliment of my extraordinary wife. I met her in June 1985 when I was looking for a new dentist office and she was the office manager/dental assistant (3 person office). It was love at first sight. Our first date was on New Year's Eve 1986; we were married a year later. I actually found my wife in the Yellow Pages as the story goes. I was on a paramedic shift and during some downtime opened the Yellow Pages to "Dentists"... closed my eyes, pointed to a dentist, opened my eyes and called what turned out to be her office. True luck of the draw!

As for T-Shirts and Hats... I am going to explore the options you presented! I tried to get the orange Ray Bans but the local opthamologist that sells them was less than helpful so I will look more online. I am also looking for a lightweight ORANGE windbreaker! Its all good as they say!
