Goodbye Nikki

Last night we traded the Nissan van, Nikki, for a Honda. She served us well over the past 5 years and 101K miles. Shot with my G10.

Dine about town 2009

Tonight we tried to take advantage of the San Francisco dine about town by going to Circolo. I don’t think any of us went with the prefixed menu. The food was excellent.

24 Hrs in Honolulu

It was so windy they were predicting a huge storm. The schools were closed and govt employees were sent home. I thought I’d get stuck in paradise.

A Lovely Lunch

Since it was such a nice day we took Mommie & Daddy to Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay for lunch. I had the Maine Lobster Roll, excellent. BTW these are the very first photos from my new camera although I forgot to set it to shoot RAW, doh!
