Celebrating Baja

standingwave - 7-1-2011 at 02:17 PM

As I celebrate the first day of my retirement from teaching I reflect on some of the sights from my Baja trip just ended. The natural beauty that, together with the people I have come to know and love – and the waves, will keep me coming back.

Viva Baja. Thanks.

Ah, DENNIS, you must be of the Norman O. Brown school, "All metaphors are sexual; a penis in every convex object and a vagina in every concave one."
