ANTIOCH BRIDGE SHIP PASSING #8 MILLION I never get tired of watching these enormous ships (from all over the world) putt down our river. When I saw this one wasn't turning around in front of the Riverview Lodge I high tailed it down to the New Bridge Marina to get the bridge and ship in the same photo. I wish it would have been at dusk, with a gorgeous sunset and the ship had it's lights on. Maybe another day. The #8 million is just my guess.

"Historic Photo" of the Week
These are the original home bleachers (new coat of paint) installed at Antioch High School in 1956. The turf, scoreboard, parking lot, and track are all new this year. I'm looking forward to seeing Antioch High School's "shiny new penny" Najee Harris run for daylight this fall. If I am not mistaken as a sophomore running back last year he broke every rushing record at Antioch High, amazing. Louie Rocha, principal, says Najee is a pretty good student and a good person to boot. Go Najee take this years Panther's where they have not been in years. It's nice to see good people succeed.

I'm very fortunate to stay as busy as I am. With one new fully responsive website almost ready for launch, another one I hope to get design approval on today and another one waiting in the on deck circle I'm very happy and a grateful man. Clue to the one on deck. Can you guess who?
Thank you GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. You're entertaining to watch, you exemplify the word team and a whole new generation of Warriors fans have some fond memories. Congratulations on bringing another World Championship to the Bay Area. We are blessed.

Peggy photo taken last Friday at the LONE TREE GOLF COURSE "Rock the Range" event. Peggy had a great time. BBQ, GOLF CLINIC (with four pros), free range balls, live music, and a free beer (if you bought tickets early) all for $12.95. Golfers in all sizes and ability had lots of fun. Can't wait for the next one. Pay attention to the SPOTLIGHT for the next date.
I will be going to this. I tried to go last Sunday but everybody was closed, go figure. I suspect EVERYBODY will be open Saturday for a few hours. They need to understand that they need to work together and all be open at the same time at least once in awhile to make it worth my time to visit.
SKETCH CLASS June 29th with Big Al in Brentwood. Hangout with local artists. There are some serious artists here. You bring you own materials and Big Al supply's the model. They do it just like they do in a real art school. The model strikes a different pose and everybody starts drawing. The poses as I recall go from about 5 minutes to 20 minutes. Nice setting.
Note: Next SPOTLIGHT will be delivered Thursday 6/25/2015
