Without bias, my cousin Russel Monk is a very gifted photographer, journalist and artist. Take a look at the links on his website.
The first time I remember Russell was the first time I played cricket. He was bowling and I was batting at prep school in Godstone, Surrey about 40 years ago! My cricket career ended when he bowled a very fast one and it hit me square on my kneecap.
Russell creates music. Check out his music link! He’s a brilliant songwriter and singer. Have a look at All My Friends Are Losers – live en Mexico (VIDEO)

Paradise Cove was a really great place for brunch on Kim’s birthday. It’s at the northern end of Malibu. It’s a really bad place for a swim at many times of the year. It’s located at the mouth of the Ramirez Creek just off PCH (the old Roosevelt highway) Much of Malibu is on septic tank. Not so good for the ocean…
But wow is it beautiful. And it’s only 20 miles from home.

I am playing in the club championship of my municipal golf club, Rancho Park G.C., this weekend. I love it!
Is Golf cool? I don’t know, but I am not these guys:
Not Cool. The Bear will get them.
These are my boys:
No Bear problem in 1867.

My brother Dr Charles Jones paid a visit to the southland this past week from Canada where he is Graduate Program Chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario.
Here we are at El Pueblo’s Olvera Street. This was where the City of Los Angeles was founded in 1781.
La Golondrina used to be a favourite hangout for movie stars in the 1930’s.
