The lost opportunity of playground education

December 14, 2012

I recently visited one of the many neighborhood parks that we are fortunate to have in Morgan Hill. In fact the park near my home recently went through a playground renovation, having some of the latest and safest state of the art playground equipment installed.

Public invited to unique Summer Fest

June 10, 2014

Perhaps some of the public has a negative stereotype of motorcyclists. Hearing their loud engines, seeing them splitting lanes while speeding down the freeway and reading about the drugs and violence associated with some bike clubs can be rather intimidating.

Victoria, British Columbia: Diversity with elegance

March 5, 2013

Got a hankering for a taste of British hospitality? Save your air fare to the U.K. and visit Victoria, British Columbia's capitol and the second largest city of that province. Named for Queen Victoria, it can be found on the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island. You don't get more British that this delightfully charming city and it all comes without the stiff upper lip or the stuffiness that is some time associated with our friends across the great pond.

Gentle reminders on managing volatility

January 17, 2013

SVCT’s ‘The Producers’ most wildly outrageous

July 20, 2015

The long awaited Mel Brooks zany, over the top, wonderfully tasteless comedy “The Producers” has arrived at the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse courtesy of the South Valley Civic Theater. This is the most irreverent tribute to musical theatre ever produced. Just when you think it can’t get any more outrageous … it gets more outrageous. It hits on every race, creed, ethnic group and gender and no one is left out. You find yourself laughing hysterically at material you would never consider laughing at or even thinking about.

Working at the car wash

April 10, 2015

My strategy for washing cars is to buzz over to one of our local businesses, a car wash and gift shop. The friendly folks there whisk my car away while I peruse the interesting items inside the shop. I pay for the service and in return they provide me with my freshly washed automobile.
