This year Jon & Kathy got bullied into hosting Christmas Eve, by Aunty Karen. She also made Jimi cook dinner? As I mentioned earlier I have to get better at shooting portraits so I used this opportunity to try a few. I lugged a car full of equipment so I could try some new gear. …

Japanese Lunch
Friday we did something we never do, have a sushi lunch. It was strange being at Angel Fish with the sun still up and not slurping down my favorite beer Echigo.
Osaka Ramen
Had Vietnamese Bánh Mi for lunch yesterday. As I was walking out I noticed a ramen shop next door, Doh! I love tonkotsu ramen, so today I twisted Sandy’s arm and we went to Dublin. After all that driving it was just okay. The ramen quest continues…
Cirque du soleil
Last night on a date night we saw Totem at AT&T Park The 2 hr show was incredible. I highly recommend it. Later we had dinner at Credo. We dined on the lamb tartare, halibut & gnocchi.
Holiday Inn

Luckily the distance was reasonable which worked out great as we …
Noah’s 1st Thanksgiving
Fun with the family, as usual. Enough food to feed an army, as usual. The worst part of the evening? While I was carving the burd Noah got his 1st taste of turkey… he absolutely hated it, spit it out in dramatic fashion. I would have loved to have captured that moment.
Twilight Movie
Last night we met up with Lynn for dinner at Zen. Luckily for me Lynn is a Twilight fan so she accompanied Sandy to the midnight showing at the local movie house, which meant I didn’t have to go. Thanks Lynn!
Jen’s Bday
Today we celebrated Jennifer’s birthday at Ed’s Teriyaki. I had the teriyaki cheesesteak, I know that sounds strange but it was actually pretty darn good. Of course Noah was getting all the attention.
Lazy Saturday
Today we met Aunty Amy, Cait, Chris, Tami & Noah at the Blue Dot Cafe & Coffee Bar for a late breakfast. Then we brought Aunty Amy to the local farmers market and we walked away with a carnivorous orchid which I have yet to ID. While photographing the orchid, I happened to look down …
