Kelly bought us the cutest little cake for dessert tonight.

True Love
Kelly claims that she does not always love her birds. To support this blatant lie, she says things like, “Orion can be a real pain in the ass…” Yeah, right!! She totally loves him. See for yourself.
Blasted Animals
I had a chance to try out a Canon 420EX flash unit on Kelly’s Canon G3 tonight, and so to put it through its paces, I chose a couple of the most difficult subjects I know and put them into horrible lighting conditions. I threw out at least 30 images to get these three, but…
The Best for Last?
We decided to spend Kerry’s last evening with our dear friends Chris and Ben. Ben was kind enough to prepare a splendid Thai dinner for all of us. As always, it was totally delicious. After dinner we watched a huge fireworks display (the anual KFOG KABOOM!) from the balcony of Chris and Ben’s home. Later,…
Eat, Drink, Eat, Repeat…
We began the day with lunch at the fabulous Rutherford Grill, where we enjoyed the world’s best smoked salmon and a grilled artichoke in the warm Napa Valley sunshine. Our next stop was at the popular V. Sattui Winery for a taste of their famously fresh, flowery wines. Later, we stopped at Clos Pegase. The…
A Mighty Funny Movie
After a quick dinner at a new noodle joint near the theater, we decided on A Mighty Wind. We were not disappointed. My face hurt after 94 minutes of continuous smiling and laughing. While not as funny as Best In Show, this reviewer still gives A Mighty Wind an enthusiastic thumbs up! Talk to…
Next Activity!
Another spectacular day in the Bay Area begins with a ferry trip across the San Francisco Bay and ends (surprise!) with some kind of food. Along the way, we visited the Museum of Modern Art, the Metreon and Rickenbacker’s for a fabulous lunch. This evening promises more fabulous food and maybe a movie. We’re torn…
Sushi and Jazz
A perfect ending to a perfect day! The three of us walked to Yoshi’s for sushi and the Dave Ellis Quintet. The sushi was good. Kerry especially liked the unagi (eel). Yum! The jazz was even better. None of us had ever heard of Dave Ellis, but we all loved the show. Dave is articulate,…
Doin’ that Tourist Thang
Just as Jim promised, the weather was perfect today. You know – one of those awesome days in the bay area – warm sun, cool breezes. We decided to spend the day sightseeing around the City by the Bay. We took in a few of the city’s most scenic spots – Golden Gate Park, the…
She’s here!
Kerry arrived this afternoon. I’ll say one thing – the girl travels light! Here she is carrying ALL of her luggage. Amazing. She’s been here only a few hours, and I’m happy to report that I can put away the antacid – my nerves are returning to normal. It’s clear already that we’re going to…
100 years as a Cheesehead
My Grandmother – and avid Green Bay Packer fan – turned 100 years old today! Kelly and I flew to Green Bay to help her celebrate. We saw most of my family. We first visited my sister and brother-in-law at their new home. The next day we drove to Packerland for the party. My Grandmother…
