Good Morning Member,
March 8 is International Women’s Day — not a huge deal here in the U.S. but bigger than Valentine’s Day in Russia, so I have taken Natasha out to Joshua Tree to celebrate.
We will be back on schedule on Tuesday.

A handsome man celebrating with a beautiful lady — that’s how life should be lived.
Great photo of the two of you.
Enjoy your well earned day off!! (but don’t make a habit of it!!-we can’t stand a day without you!)
I used to go camping and star gazing in the Buzzard Springs Quadrangle east of Joshua Tree. You have to cross Joshua Tree to get there. Many times I’ve spent the night on a lawn chair in Joshua Tree watching annual meteor showers. I know the area well, it’s a great getaway from Los Angeles and not prohibitively far from where I used to live in San Pedro (which is in Los Angeles County and part of Los Angeles City by reason of the Harbor Strip) but …
You couldn’t drag me screaming and kicking at gunpoint back to the Soviet Socialist Republik of Kalifornia. It’s a shame such neat places as Joshua Tree are wasted on Kalifornians.
That said, if you absolutely must live in Los Angeles, Joshua Tree makes for a good temporary escape. I hope Natasha enjoyed her day and I hope you stayed the night to see the magnificent night sky that’s visible from there.
Excellent choice, Bill. Joshua Tree is such a serenely beautiful, otherworldly place — I hope you’ll enjoy the time out there together! I have happy memories of camping out under wispy clouds drifting across a moonlit sky there many years ago. The trees that gave the place its name make me think of Martians with outstretched arms, especially as the sun goes down. Probably nothing; just a “Day of the Triffids” flashback. But watch your six, just in case…
I used to live in Yucca Valley and spent many a great day riding through JTNP.
Yeah very big in Russia because it was the start of the communist revolution, therefore I spit on it.
Hope you had a nice day traveling Bill, you rock.
Have fun you two!
So happy for you and Natasha! Enjoy!
Thanks for letting us know and share in your happiness, Bill.
Have a great time!
She seems very happy! Treasure her.
You two look good….cold too!
Joshua Tree is a favorite of ours! Enjoy!
So much of a joy filled relationship, is balance. If you let your careers and passions take most of your time together away, things can become stale. This has happened to my son and his wife. Long hours, days off that do not match, and now their relationship is drifting and in serious trouble. Add a 6 month old daughter and you have two people under pressure that hardly know each other anymore, they pass like two ships in the night. Balance is the key.
You two must have ‘whiffel’ dust as I finally figured out how to post. First picture of your beautiful wife I have seen. Best whishes…..
Have fun!
I knew this lady was a good influence on you, Bill. An actual Day Off for you.
Enjoy the heck out of the day!
Congrats! have a good day off!
Great picture. Great day ahead
