* November 25th 2011- I have now passed six months at Deutsch LA and I am loving it.

I am trying to get my reading back in gear.

CURRENT BOOK(S):

STEVE JOBS: This book is simply breath taking... especially for a computer nerd who was in high school and college in the 80s and started working ... at Microsoft in the 90s. Steve Jobs greatly affected the outcome of my life . I am doing mostly by audio. Listening to the creation of the Apple 1 & 2 and then the first Macintosh is listenting to the birth of legends. Of course when Steve gets ousted from Apple, it is quite painful.

V IS FOR VENGEANCE: Every two years Sue Grafton puts out her latest Kinsey Milhone mystery. I will be meeting Ms Grafton at the Grove on Tuesday November 29th.

Elain Elizabeth Hazle Memorial

This section is a tribute to my sister Elain who passed away on August 8th 2004. As much as I love my travel pictures, this isthe most cherished and important part of my entire site.

I urge everyone to go to it.

From all of The Hazle Family
INDIANA JONES


So is Indy 5 going to happen or not?
WORLD TRAVEL

We are anxious to take another trip in 2011/2012!


Travel has become a great passion of mine. Not going and sitting on a beach in some resort but exotic world travel. This probably comes from seeing each of the Indiana Jones movies at least fifty times. My new Indy Jones page will be up and running soon. My first trip abroad was in 1994. It was one of those marathon 3 week trips through Europe. I went with Cosmos Tours. We did London, Lucerne, Lugano, Venice, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Sorrento and Capri.

It was years later, June 2001, on the spur of the moment that wanderlust boiled in me, till I couldn't take it. I decided to go to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and The Killing Fields. In April 2002 I went to Northern India. I went to Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Ranthambhore and Jaipur. All I will say is the Taj Mahal is everything you could imagine and more!

In November/December 2003, my wife Mary Ellen and Iwent to the International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in Santiago, Chile. We also stopped in Peru to see Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu. In May 2004 we took a cruise to Alaska with the Princess Curise lines. In October 2005, we did the greatest adventure ever: as East African Safari!

May of 2007, we went to Spain, primarily the southern cities of Seville, Cordoba & Granda. Pictures and video coming soon
