Morning in OB today. Getting out, an older fellow with a long ZZ Top beard and a bodyboard told me it was āfun to watch me riding.ā He asked me what i was using. I showed him my handplanes and fins. Sharing a Gospel of #Stoke on Sunday.#bodysurfing

downhill. good waves. then 0.5 miles uphill to 100 meters elevation and my calves hurt so much and I feel good.
New Bot Day! I acquired this push button puppet bot at a thrift mall in Chicago. Super charming artifact. Maybe from the 60s. 1900s, anyway. It says āIām Robot No. 3991ā made by the Kohner Brothers. Great boxy design with classic right angles, rivets. Welcome Robot!

Iāve had a rocky several days. High highs (elation, discovery, creation) but very low lows (angry, frustrated, despair, self-hatred). I think at the root itās what they call complicated grief. For example me in 2010. Knowing and naming it points my path out of it. Iāve been here before. Iāll probably return. In the meantime: expect more beach, toy robots, comics, cosplay and shenanigans. Whimsy is the Way.
First time in the water in too long. Started at Scripps, ended at the south end of Blackās, a mile and a bit north. Partway there saw the Mushroom House.

Last week I met droids! I donāt think I have it in me to do the elaborate work to build a complete robot with all the attendant parts. The skill and craft involved is intense! This is a hobby-built CHOPPER (C1-10P). Also in this photo is my Kingpin cane, crafted from a beach umbrella bottom I found on the beach, painted and embellished. Crafting! Cosplay! I miss #SDCC but am eager to try new stuff before the next Con.

DāVana Tendi of Lower Decks and Q of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Iāve known this alien 9 years: we were in line to give blood at the same moment at #SDCC. What I wrote at the time in my journal: āI did end up giving blood then met the nicest possible person. Meeting kind people different from myself makes me LOVE EVERYONE even when some of them are pushy and maybe sweaty in a way that could maybe smell better.ā To be clear, I was not referring to her with the pushy sweaty smelly crack.#startrek#lowerdecks#qcosplay#dvanatendi#dvanatendicosplay#sdcc2023

Comic Con 2023 is winding down but there are Cons in the future. Dr. Hank McCoy Iāll do you justice in the future.

My cousin Miles striking a blow during #SDCC with the Society for Creative Anachronism @scasocial#sdcc2023 ā he let me hit the side of his helmeted head hard with the weaponāa sort of modified Kendo weapon wrapped in duct tapeāamazing.
Last year I didnāt donate. I tried. But they identified my hypertension! You could sort of say they saved my life. Today BP passed with flying colors! Double packed red blood cell is always fun because it feels a little like a video game. @sandiegobloodbank#sdcc#sdcc2023

Iāve attended so many Comic Conās alongside my friend Erin of thirty-five years I donāt know how many itās been. Itās great to be back! ā¦though not always dressed as the Q Continuum judging humanity.#QCosplay#StarTrek#StarTrekCosplay
