I started watching a set of DVDs over the weekend that could send me down a serious rabbit hole -- the 1984-1986 TV series Riptide -- only because it was filmed literally in my back yard when I was living in Redondo Beach. I'm only 7 episodes in, with nearly 50 to go (once I acquire the third season set which is ridiculously hard to find and ridiculously pricey). But in those 7 episodes, which I've rewound and slo-mo'd and freeze-framed to an extent that would drive anyone else nuts, along with having the 1984 Redondo Beach / South Bay telephone directory right by my side, I have captured and re-learned more about my mid-1980s surroundings than I would have thought possible. For the South Bay, it ranks right up there with other notable L.A. filming location resources.



Wow. I was just thinking about that show a few days ago. Joe Penny crossed my mind and I wondered what became of him.

I hope you feel better soon, Jane. That's the way it was when I tested positive. I'm sure since you had so many immunizations that you'll be ok. I remember being achy.

I need to shower, then head over to the local blood-letting place to get my labs done before the order expires. I kept putting this off, but no more excuses, it's time to get it done.

You must have been putting this off for a good long while.

Since mid-November -- because of a killer rehearsal and show schedule, then the holidays, etc. The delay wasn't planned, but it just got away from me.

First episode, I think. Not right away, Boz isn't there at first. They rescue him from a crazy-ass demonstration (in a building in Long Beach, which I hadn't known before), then he moves onto the boat and brings the robot and everything else.

I need to gather the photos I took around the Redondo Pier and King Harbor, including some color slides my dad took when they visited me there in March 1984. I know I have some "Pier 56" signs, the Riptide boat, and the Screaming Mimi.

It's still cold and gray. Well, San Antonio cold. It's about 63 degrees.

I'm usually achy and this isn't much worse.  It is more like a head cold with a somewhat sore throat and cough.  The worst part is my headache.  It was very bad most of the night.

I'm also cold.  If I turn the heat up it bothers Keith's sinuses.  I'm going to turn it up for a little bit before getting into the shower and then turn it back down.

If it was that warm here I would drag myself out for a walk.

Bryan said we are very lucky to have covid instead of the flu as the flu has been very bad this year.  I had read that.
