Flashback Friday! Laguna Beach High School has a long tradition in volleyball excellence. Dusty Dvorack, LBHS graduate, was a member of the American Men's National Team that won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Scott Fortune, another LBHS graduate, was an All-American at Stanford and a three-time Olympian winning gold at the 1988 Summer Olympics. The current LBHS volleyball team is gearing up for the final CIF championship game this Saturday against Esperanza. Go Beach!

A few years back, I would go to The Deck in Laguna Beach and listen to Kevin Miso play. His music is a mix between Jack Johnson and Donavon Frankenreiter. He just released his new summer single, "Zombie" on iTunes. You can't see him at The Deck any longer, but he is playing The Belly Up in San Diego on July 17th.
Yesterday, my daughter went to a wonderful birthday party in Heisler Park, overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. The party mom had to get there at 6am to reserve the spot, but it was worth it.
At the top of the the Dartmoor Hike in north Laguna Beach, we popped open the champagne to toast a birthday girl. Great hike, great friends with a great view!
Flashback Friday! This picture is the 1945 baseball team from the Laguna Beach High School yearbook. Other notables from 1945:
- First class stamp cost 3 cents - Franklin D. Roosevelt dies and Truman becomes US President - John Steinbeck wrote "Cannery Row" - Anne Frank dies in a concentration camp - Grand Rapids, Michigan becomes the first community to fluoridate its water supply Walking around Heisler Park, I usually see a plein air painter doing their thing. En plein air in French means "in open air". You can also describe this as peinture sur le motif , which means "painting on the ground". For more events and workshops in Laguna Beach, en plein air, go to LPAPA.org (Laguna Plein Air Painters Association).
Have you ever dreamed about getting married in Laguna Beach, somewhere overlooking the Pacific Ocean, but thought it would be too expensive? You can get a wedding permit for the Gazebo in Heisler Park for only $255! For more information, go to www.lagunabeachcity.net.
