San Diego Kurt

KURT and his wife, Alex...and the Spyder

Recently I was treated to a visit with my old friend, Kurt, in San Diego. I tell you what, he and his wife were so gracious. I just had a really neat time and wish we had been in touch over the past 20 years. He picked me up at the airport, carried baggage, fed me. I was truly amazed and touched that they are both true and genuine people. Makes me think of moving to SD.

Kurt and I went to high school together and it wasn't until right around graduation that we really got to spend time doing stuff. He had this idea getting us into business together making shirts called S3, like S-cubed where it stood for surf,ski,skate. Simple design and easy business. After we did that together he went to school and I did the same and thats it. Out of about 450 high schoolers, Kurt is one of maybe five that I always wondered about. Well, we got in touch through facebook and I just had to visit. So I did. Its beautiful being in Phoenix where you get on the freeway and see exits for LA, San Diego and Flagstaff. It only takes a few minutes to get to the airport and costs nothing to fly out of here.

So, anyway, Kurt has two beautiful Ferraris, 911 and fun BMWs that he kicks around in. The Ferraris were just classic driving and the convertible BMW was just plain fun. Had a much different feel than my Saabs. All the cars were just solid. The Ferraris, Kurt drives around in and treats them like gold, not parking just anywhere and they are mostly garaged. I think he takes them out for a brief thrill. Prestige condition on all the vehicles. Kurt is what I would call a perfectionist. His house is exemplary of this, his websites, his vehicles. Crazy.

Seeing his perfectionism made me wonder a bit. Just like I decided on cars that I don't mind parking anywhere and do not treat them in any other way than fun rides. They are not in the best shape and I don't mind. Kurt's vehicles are showroom condition.  At home I have become the sloppy semi-bachelor type and have stuff still in the sink. Kurt's kitchen is spotless and the only messy areas are the works in progress. 
What is really neat in seeing how Kurt and Alex work is that everything is basically simple. Although complex as well. The complexity comes with their making sure things are complete prior to unveiling.  I think of this as semi-complex because of the stress in getting there.  Kurt and Alex make the journey to completion in what seems a flawless fashion and they appear as if the process is stress free.

I truly appreciated the amazing stay with my great friend.  I can't wait to see his next great adventure and hope to be a part of it.

Good things and God's blessing.

The black dog to the right or, dereche, for those spanish speakers out there. It's Cody, JP's dog. Looks kind of mellow, but I bet the guy's got some fire in him. Don't let him fool you. Look at those eyes - he's thinking up mischief.

Recently I've been pretty busy and have not gotten around to writing on blog. Patients are sort of picking up and/or steady. Can't figure out which it is - increase or just steady. Time will tell.

So, let's make a list:

Finally got glasses (again)

Had dental work and received crown

Wearing sportcoats and ties often now

Fixed one car to have another one break down

Think my hair is now staying intact


Mostly, I'd say life is beginning to smooth out after many trying transitions.  That is good.  Check out the new facelift on website.  I tend to think it is simple and good. But I'm partial and enjoyed programming it.  That took half a day to do.  I looked at other people's sites and just decided on making sure there was not a bunch of headache information (TMI) on my website.
Remember that good news is all around you.  Sometimes you have to do the Ferris Bueller thing, though, and look around you in order to find the good stuff.
