If I could make my own Flash Holiday greeting this would be it. Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near as clever as Odd Todd, who has created some of the best Flash movies on the web. (3 megabyte file.)

Turkey Day Aftermath
Almost brother-in-law Jeff takes a well-deserved snooze after cooking two days in a row.
Happy Birthday, Frank, Dorothy & thedude
We celebrated three birthdays this week – thedude’s 49th, and Frank and Dorothy’s 70th – at one of our favorite getaways, St. Orres in Gualala, California. We stayed in three different cabins during our trip, including the spectacular new “Black Chantrelle” cabin – Jim’s new favorite. The weather was perfect, and we were the only…
The End of Our Holiday Weekend
While having a fabulous lunch on the balcony at the Paragon Restaurant in the spectacular Claremont Hotel, we witnessed this brilliant 22 degree sun halo. This is not an uncommon event. What made it special (besides the oysters on the half-shell and the wonderful spinach salad) is the rainbow seen at the bottom of the…
Cinco de Mayo
A few good friends, a few good margo’s and one amazing meal. Loved the pozole! Thanks to Tom and Julie for another fine feast.
Lazy Hazy Easter Sunday
If you can possibly avoid the usual gathering with extended family, it turns out that Easter Sunday is a great day to get things done. We easily made our way up to Mount Diablo to take in a somewhat hazy, but otherwise perfect view, got the car washed and even ate a little salt-and-pepper calamari…
Amazing New York VR
Thanks, Carl for pointing me to this incredible shot of New Year’s Eve in Times Square.
A Very Happy New Year’s Eve
Last night’s celebration was the most subdued ever for thedude. Kelly and I celebrated the arrival of 2004 with just two dear friends – Chris and Ben. As you can see, it turned out to be a beautiful evening. We wish all of you a healthy and prosperous new year!
Barbecue at Grant and Sandy’s
Our friends Grant and Sandy grilled up a big hunk of prime rib last night and oh my gawd it was delicious. Thanks for a fun evening and for the groovy gifts! Our shot of the day has to be this beautiful sunset as viewed from their back yard patio. It looks too exotic to…
Tony’s Party Pictures
Great food, fabulous people. Thanks Tony!
First Holiday Party of 2003!
This year’s first holiday party was at Dominic’s house in Concord. Dominic is Kelly’s hair stylist and a Fresno native like Kelly, so we never miss his parties. Dominic has HUGE family – six brothers, seven sisters and about 87 beautiful nieces. His home is cozy with two fireplaces that kept everyone comfortable despite the…
Turkey Day in Fresno
The holiday weekend consisted mostly of the usual fare – family and tons of fabulous food. Of course, any outing with the Hunter Clan is guaranteed to produce a few memorable moments. This year was no exception. The first surprise was a doozy… Imagine your standard-issue bar stool strapped atop a custom built five horse-power…
Happy Halloween!
I saw so many wonderful costumes this year. Not much scary stuff this year – I saw mostly funny or absolutely beautiful costumes. Enjoy… Some of these shots are from a party at work, the others are from a party at our next door neighbor’s most excellent party. Thanks Han and Caroline! Wish we could…
Fourth of July
Another July Fourth is history. The day was lovely, and featured gorgeous weather, meat on a stick, wine, beer, family, friends and fireworks – a splendid day. Thanks to all our teriffic neighbors for opening their doors last night.
