So Sylvie

Spent a beautiful day with my beautiful son Jesse on his 29th (!) Birthday. We started the day with crepes at a sun-drenched restaurant, followed by a hike across the land at UCSC with a rich view of the entire Monterey Bay. The sun was glistening, glass-like, on the ocean. It was perfect t-shirt weather. A glorious hot day that makes you say, "Now this is California!" Feliz Cumpleaños Jesse boy! Nice to see you shining.

Okay. Need to take a new photo with 'big boy' skateboard.

Happy Birthday Jessmo!

 

Here's a song for you Jess (from my favorite Scottish Soul singer, Paolo Nutini).  I know you'll appreciate that the song, believe it or not, is about mota.

 

"It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I'll die…"
