I had the pleasure of meeting both Mr. and Mrs. Dole during Sen Elizabeth Dole campaign in North Carolina in 2008. Both very approachable, warm and charming.

Sad to see another member of what I would call the old guard that knew how to work with everyone and still get the job done.

As I watch the Sen. McCain memorial service at the National Cathedral I remember the many trips to that revered site in within Washington DC.  Such a fitting site for remembrance and hopefully renewed unification for the nation.  A place of gathering for ALL people from anywhere to take a moment to reflect upon who we are and what kind of Nation we want to be.

The many nuances of the past week and today, hopefully, will not go unnoticed and provide a solid groundwork, nay groundswell of unity as we go forth into the future.

Godspeed Sen. McCain, Godspeed

courage, family, Navy, politicians, Sen. John McCain, veteran

A lone voice in the wild west of politics has passed.  The hope is his voice will always be heard and his courage passed on for the future of the Nation.

I never had a chance to meet Sen. McCain, rather, I viewed the circus of campaigning and the crowds he commanded and the timbre of his voice.

From our family of veterans and my Brother currently serving in the Navy to the Navy veteran and his family – Thank you for your Service.

beach, house, La Jolla, Mitt Romney, ocean side

Ok, so there I was minding my own business and now I’m 15 sec famous…

Mitt Romney plans to expand his La Jolla home.

I’m in La Jolla visiting Dad and find out that Mitt Romney has a home on the ocean about 1/2 mile away.  Something to shoot for photographic stock just in case this become the West Coast White House.

So the 3,000 sqft $12 mil home is being torn down and replaced with a 11,000 sqft cottage..  if he was not running for the White House this would not be news, but…

Fox News 5 SD was there, Perette Godwin reporter and Jason Zuidema photographer, and Perette asks my opinion on the story and roll tape..  bad idea, but I did not drool or stumble and now it’s on the Internet forever.

Here are the images of Perette and Jason working and the Romney house, permit, etc..
