Nancy negotiated a deal to take me on a vacation rather than suffer the public humiliation of a 50th birthday party. I was more than willing to forego the black balloons and cracks about my declining physical condition. On our way to Monterey Bay we took a detour to the Winchester Mystery house. I love Victorian architecture and have always wanted to see this strange attraction. This picture has a distant view of a second floor door that opens to a full story drop with no staircase. At another place in the house there is a staircase that rises to the ceiling with no door. I devised a book plot based on repositioning the stair to the door which creates a treasure map.
The next day we ate at Bubba Gumps and I posed for this Forrest Gump picture. At the ripe old age of 50, I am entitled to expound some wisdom. "Life is like a box of chocolate, and I don't like chocolate." After our wonderful vacation it's back to the diet and more ex-pounding.
