Reintroducing myself to Bluesky. Last time, there were just a few of us here. This is what I’m up to:

- Growing law firm with my excellent friends/partners.
- Storytelling. Making short films, writing quirky fiction, and making music.
- Curious about the world.

Glad to see you here. 💖💕

Grey fall morning in Los Angeles.
Fog shrouds a large white apartment complex in the distance viewed over browning trees and residential rooftops. Everything is bathed in grey.

Winter sun over Marina Del Rey.
A view of the water with a pale yellow sun overhead and its reflection in the water below. Spiky shrubs in the very foreground. A sail boat on the water behind them and a larger yacht in the distance. Everything is tinted in a pale green.

A visit to the California Botanical Gardens in Claremont, CA. The gardens are filled with native plants. This is a native sunflower.
Four small sunflowers sticking up with blurry background. On each flower, about 15 to 20 yellow pedals fan around a brown center. Two small sunflowers sticking up with blurry background. On each flower, about 15 to 20 yellow pedals fan around a brown center. The plant has rough edged green leaves and a strong green stem below each flower. More sunflowers like those above. Several of them are turned so we see them from the side.

While on my way to land at LAX
I gazed at LA's urban grid complex
Grateful I had a window seat in flight
Dazzled by sprawling city lights at night

Sunset. Beautiful sunset. #sunset
Sun hits the horizon over a thin ribbon of ocean above an expanse of houses and palm trees stretching to the sea. Overhead, scattered clouds reflect the remnants of the day in the deepening sky.

You made it through another week. Cheers!
