Tales From My Spinner Rack! Episode 15 takes a tour of my very own spinner rack, with stops along the way to examine some of my favorite covers. From Superman to Adam Strange, from the Demon to Captain America, from the Incredible Hulk to (Choke! Sob!) My Love Story Queen Size Special, and with special... Continue Reading →
Yep, it's Comic-Con time, and that's where you'll find me for the next few days. I hope you were lucky enough to get badges and are enjoying the show! Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
It's hard for me to believe that almost a year has passed and San Diego Comic-Con is again upon us. I thought when I retired, time would start to stand still, like the slow drip off a melting icicle, but nope! Time marches on, faster and faster it seems. Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to this...

I see a lot of wildlife ... well, birds ... in "my backyard," which fronts on San Diego Bay, or as it's known locally, "The Big Bay." This little poser seemed unafraid of my nearness and allowed me to snap a few photos. I don't know what kind of bird he or she is ...... Continue Reading →
I found myself in front of this stunning color combo in North Park, a San Diego neighborhood, when my Lyft driver's GPS told them my destination was on the right. It wasn't, but it was close enough to walk, and looking out the window, I knew I wanted to get out right here, right now,... Continue Reading →
I had an eye doctor appointment one day, so I took an early ferry over to the mainland from my island stronghold and, with time to kill, took a walk through one of my old stomping grounds: Bankers Hill. (Not that I stomp when I walk, mind you.) I came across this lovely, very yellow... Continue Reading →
I have not been posting much lately on here because—quite frankly—my work on my Tales From My Spinner Rack! YouTube channel (unabashed plug!) takes up all my creative time and energy. And let's face it ... I'm retired, so I don't have a lot of creative time and energy! So here's an attempt to at... Continue Reading →
With all the rain we've been having we're also getting a plethora of rainbows. This one was the end of an epic arc that covered the entire downtown San Diego area, and lasted for a good ten minutes. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
HEY YOU BIRDS! GET OFF MY BEACH! Actually, they were nice enough to stop and pose instead of mindlessly running back and forth to escape the tide. I should be more grateful. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
Another photo from my filter-obsessed days ... wish I had the original, but this one is at least 15 years old, I believe. Just a random Vespa parked in a driveway on my Sunday walk through Hillcrest. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
As promised—or threatened, I suppose—here's part 02 of my beach sunset photos from 12/11/2023. Love the silhouetting on this one. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
I'm in love with this photo I took—once again near the Hotel del Coronado—back on 12/20/2021. The dark, moody sunsets are just as beautiful as the bright, vibrant ones. Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
Captured in Tidelands Park in Coronado ... it seemed like a lot of planes were leaving behind contrails as they headed for their final destination, somewhere south, from the looks of things. It almost looks like a lightning strike ... Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
A dramatic beach sunset snapped behind the Hotel del Coronado on 12/11/2023. Stay tuned for Part 02 ... Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
From my old, filter-obsessed beginning days on Instagram ... I snapped this picturesque balcony up on Bankers Hill in San Diego, near my doctor's office. It just cries out for Juliet or Rapunzel for a dramatic moment, don't you think? Instagram: @gg92118 • @TalesFromMySpinnerRack YouTube@TalesFromMySpinnerRack
