I lived there as a lab tech intern (Scripps Clinic) a zillion years ago, in a cottage in back of an old Victorian house across the street from the "Cove".
But I dunno either.

Let's call it an enclave.

The hell I was ! Had them both on the ropes right from the start.


Hah! At one point, georgeob1 was crying that he's supposed to be
the teaser not the teasee. Of course, moi was mercyless until he
raised the white flag. Once more, the Irish were duly defeated!

Cicerone, however, was a model of friendly restraint and good stories of his many travels. Not at all the irritable critic he sometimes appears here.


That is so true. Even cicerone would agree to that. In person, c.i. avoids saying anything controversial. When he writes a post he is uninhibited. However, if you read between the lines, you can find his gentler, friendlier side in his posts also.

The one of Roxanne and MsO (sorry if name wrong), and MsO and Cyclo are also fantastic. Oh, but wait, the one of Mame and Tak and Seaglass - really really good.

ooops, sorry for the double post! don't know how that happened! at least they're bigger than a postage stamp Smile

CI is such a beautiful person... Lucy is a very lucky woman. He is a model of amiability and manners and gentle humour... truly a delight to meet and get to know.

MA, well, what can I say? Another gentleman, and entertaining and fun into the bargain. A real pleasure to spend two days with.

Seaglass is a hoot, no other word for her. Love her joie de vive, her independence, her togetherness.

CJ was as I expected... smart and sassy and loads of quick retorts. She was the one keeping georgeob1 on his toes, not me! And I have some great pics of that guy once I get some help with blocking.

George - amusing, interesting, entertaining, intelligent, and for sure a button-pusher (in our family he would have been known as Percy Kid-Pester) - definitely likes a lively conversation Smile I enjoyed our repartee Smile

Cyclo - very polite, very sure of himself, educated, erudite, but of course, you already know all that. He was a pleasant surprise (me not knowing him at all), and his gf was gorgeous and a pleasure to talk to.

Roxxxanne - very sweet, and like CJ said, not at all like I thought I knew of her (but what do I know?). I wish I could have spoken with you more, Roxxx... too many people and not enough time. I think you've had a most interesting life.

Francis: well, what can one say about Francis? He is delightful. Cheeky, friendly, with twinkly eyes, and the loveliest demeanor. All great reasons to visit France! (yeah, let's go there next Smile )...

Was that all there was? Somehow it seemed like more. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I have some other decent shots but need some assistance before they can go out. Unfortunately, the only ones I have of Gorgeous George are in that group. And thank you both, W and O... I hope I captured their personalities.

Yeah, it's so dark. I was facing the light. However, if Jes were only able to save me (hint, hint), I could post some great group ones tomorrow.

I lightened it up a bit for you Mame. If Jespah isn't able to help you with the blockage on the group photos, I can do it for you.
