Jetlag still has a hold of me so I woke up at 4:30am today. After a little geek time on the PC, I started out on breakfast #1. Half an hour later when the rest of the household got up, I hit breakfast #2. We rounded everyone up and went to the Makati Sports Club …

Alex is here!
Last night Alex arrived from South Carolina to accompany us on our trip to the Philippines. We decided to cook something EZ… yeah Steak! Sorry forgot to photograph it. Our flight day was spent taking Judy to the Burd Hotel and lunch at the India Palace.
Havana II
Tonight we met Jim & Kelly at Havana for dinner. The food was excellent as were the mojitos. Jim brought his Smart Car, I want one now. Of course I was early so I strolled downtown Alameda and took a couple of shots.

Mum’s Day 08
