Back to School
Last night we ventured back to high school… for a performance by Jon at Hogan High in Vallejo. It was a wonderful concert. The orchestra sounded great. Jon invited us to his dressing room which was actually a classroom. So while waiting for the show to end we had some foto-fun.
Labor Day
This year’s Labor Day picnic was held at Vasona Park. We engaged in large quantities of food, competitive badminton and napping. Unfortunately I hardly shot any pix.
Steve at 60
Today is Steve’s actual birthday so we had a quiet celebration at Steve & Diane’s… Well it was quiet til the enchiladas started kicking in. We did bring a delicious toasted almond ice cream cake from Tucker’s. Meanwhile Sandy fell in love with Diane’s granddog Thistle, Swizzle or Fizzle.
We’re going Downtown
One of our favorite wineries, Navarro paired up with Downtown Restaurant in Berkeley. This is the second Navarro sponsored dinner event we’ve attended. The food was excellent and we love Navarro wine! Of course we had to invite Jim, Kelly & Julie. Canon G7 with a 220EX

Mr. Mean Duck
Since we feed the ducks everyday, I’ve noticed there has emerged a bully. This mean duck will attack any other duck that goes for the food. Nothing serious, just a tug on the wing or behind the neck. Sandy doesn’t like all this duck violence. We’re looking for a duck psychologist to get him some therapy.
Bay Area Panorama
On the way home from Steve’s Birthday Party, I noticed the view from Grizzly Peak road and I knew I’d have to revisit it. So today on my way back home from Concord I decided to drive up there to check it out. Mind you it was approximately 4:00PM and the conditions were not ideal. Perhaps …
