Oakland Folks
Haven’t seen Jim, Kelly, Steve & Diane in ages. We met at the Chop Bar tonight. The lamb loin was excellent I must say.
Bunny Lunch
My buddy, Mary Ann (Bunny), was in town so we met up for lunch at Amber India in Santana Row. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to shoot her so I asked Mary Ann if she was willing to pose for a few shots for me. Of course my strobe refuse to fire …

Luckily the distance was reasonable which worked out great as we …
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!
NEX nite
We met up with Jim & Kelly tonight at NEX in Oakland. The pressed watermelon salad was excellent as was the duck confit. I don’t have a small camera anymore so I had to make do with iPad photos. We really should do this more often.
Vietnamese 7 courses of beef
After the Chocolate Festival, Teddy & Christine took us out to Anh Hong Restaurant. As usual I got so excited by the food, I forgot to photograph it.
Jelly Belly
Sandy met up with Tita Susan, Suzette & the boys. She delivered some very thoughtful goodies… Uh I haven’t had the guts to try the skunk spray. I think that needs to be followed by a shot of tomato juice.
Asena II
Took Arlene to Asena last night. We had a great time, the food was very tasty. Arlene had the eggplant, Sandy had the scallion fettuccine and grilled prawns and I had the prawn ravioli.
Arlene
Met Arlene for lunch today at Old Port Lobster Shack in Redwood City. The lobster rolls were great.
