Hi, and welcome to my summer scrapbook. I hope you like the montage of photos from some of my favorite spots along the California coast, along with some dazzling pix from our recent Las Vegas training for the California-state-approved Sex Coaching Certificate Program through the Institute for the Advanced Study of Sexuality (IASHS) based in San Francisco.
Take a look:
1. JULY SAR~ Our graduates from the famous July SAR conducted here in Los Angeles, a life altering training that is described in this entry. 
2. CLEOPATRA IN LA~ Next I visited the new dazzling exhibit of the unearthed findings from a new collection of artifacts that characterized the person of Cleopatra and the gigantic influence she had on her culture, her politics, her men (!), and her world. These appeared all to be found under the sea where her city was taken under by an earthquake and tsunami that destroyed everything, including her own remains. This was a fascinating and inspiring exhibit, still at the California Science Center for a few more months.
Here are some pix, including great statues, plaques, imagery from the times and icons from film depicting her glorious reign as a pharaoh and the goddess ISIS. Wow!
3. Next, indulge your imagination in the beauty of the coastal vistas of Northern California.

4. Finally August was hot and transformational for our inaugural group of doctoral students in Las Vegas— at the Erotic Heritage Museum —for our initial California-state-approved Sex Coaching Certificate Program Live Intensive. What a great time we had. We even had one of the world’s eminent First Amendment Attorney‘s featured in Marty Klein‘s documentary based on America’s War on Sex book to come and share his knowledge with us. Check these out!
