Tonight we ventured into downtown Oakland to celebrate Tami & Chris’s birthday. Ozumo was the restaurant of choice.

Duck Dominance
I don’t follow any sports but I have to admit I like watching a good fight.
I got tired of cleaning up after Ben Aflac by the back door so I tried to feed him at the lower patio. Well the other ducks caught wind of this and decided to swarm him. Apparently violence is beneath him so he retreated to the upper patio and hid behind the plants until the coast was clear. I felt sorry for him so I fed him privately. Meanwhile I photographed the melee at the lower patio.
MLK Day
We both had the day off so after a nice breakfast of duck hash & eggs, we drove to the local shopping center to do some errands. We sat in the car listening to the MLK I Have a Dream speech. It was quite inspirational.
For Christmas, Sandy gave me a gift certificate for a number of massages at Body Techniques. I decided today would be a good day to start the redemption process. After an hour of Alicia working the knots out of my body I felt quite relaxed and sleepy, but it was close to noon so we went to Gerry’s Grill for lunch. As usual we ordered too much and ended up taking quite a bit home.
This was followed by a cleaning session in the garage… now my ding dang back hurts!
Murphy II
On an impromptu invitation we went over to the Paul & Brenda’s for a little football & food. While neither of us care for football it was nice to get together with our neighbors and Sandy wanted to hang with Murphy.
Frosty
It is cold over here…
Farewell
Mommi & Daddy left for the Philippines tonight…
Ukelele Crash Course
On their last night we had a ukulele crash course. Our CD by the same name, should be out later this year.
Famoso
As the boys are leaving tomorrow morning Aleki wanted to have a famoso burrito before he left. We went to our usual La Penca Azul.
Aleki did finish that burrito, it was about the size of my arm.
Stupid Crows
I often refer to the large number of crows in the neighborhood as, “those stupid crows”. In actuality they are very intelligent burds. Sandy observed as the garbage collectors made their rounds the crows waited nearby. As soon as the garbage can was set down the “stupid” crows swooped in for the rib leftovers.
Horatio’s
Today we had lunch at Horatio’s in San Leandro. The bread pudding was to die for…
