Chop Bar

I can’t remember the last time we got together with Jim, Kelly, Steve & Diane. So it was with great anticipation that we met at the Chop Bar downstairs from their lofts. The food was excellent and the company even better.

I’m a 49er

I finally learned after 49 years to play it smart and take the day off from work on my birthday. We were visited by a pair of Canada Geese in our backyard panhandling for food. I don’t know if that was some kind of omen. We had a great breakfast at Ole’s right here in …

Puttin’ on the Ritz

To celebrate 2010 we decided to spend New Years Day at the Ritz at Half Moon Bay. We reserved a suite and shared it with Mommi & Daddy. Dinner was at Navio in the hotel. I ran into Tyler Florence at the entrance, I was so excited I didn’t think to photograph him. We savored …

Sunset

I don’t really like being in front of the camera but tonights sunset left some very nice colors and I was home alone. So I took out my trusty G11 and set up a single off camera strobe with a shoot thru umbrella. Set the cam ISO for 400, TV 1/15th of a second.

Big Gulp Saturday

Today after the physically fit performed a workout. We shuttled off to India Palace for a Indian Food Buffet, it was so good! Later I did my best to prepare a hunk of Venison for dinner. On a side note I was told that Geo would get quite upset if anyone touched his shoes (He …

In the City

Tonight we ferried in to the city and took Geo to NikeTown. He did his best to conceal his excitement for purchasing his new shoes. Later we went to Angel Fish for an always excellent sushi dinner. Poor Sandy, she’s surrounded by Manly Men. It’s been nothing but drinking, eating and farting.
