The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission
Yesterday, the Bay Bridge was closed for construction over the Labor Day weekend. The ferries were running all day so I decided to ride into the city for a dinner date. We ran over to Red’s Java House on Alex’s suggestion, but it was closed by time we got there. So instead we ate some tasty tacos and a quesadilla at Mijita. What do you follow that up with? Tahitian Vanilla Gelato, that’s what.
Just got a hold of Sandy’s photos from her little SD880. As usual she’s making me look bad.
I’ve been submerged up to my neck with in-laws. They’re sleeping all over the house. There’s a constant noise level sun up to sun down. My niece Maxie has not yet learned to use her “inside voice”. I’m cooking for 9. And as much as I try to convince them how much of a pain in the butt they are, they don’t let up.
Truth is I’ve been having a really good time laughing, drinking (thanks Rhea) & eating. After all they’re good family!
I could not be with them on their day trips so I stole some photos from Rhea.
August is a busy month. Let’s see there’s Rick’s Birthday, Chris & Tami’s Anniversary, Jon’s Birthday, Rick & Jen’s Anniversary & our Anniversary. So we decided to combine all these wonderful events in San Mateo at the Kingfish Restaurant… when Jon wasn’t available.
I saw a funny license plate frame yesterday, obviously a cat lover.
Today we celebrated our 9th year together. Wedded bliss I tell you. Well, that’s what she told me to say. We had dinner at Angel Fish, courtesy of Mommie. We’ll do a big celebration on Saturday… more on that later.
Happy Anniversary Brother Rick & Jen. That 1st year goes by fast.
I can’t remember the last time we all got together. So it was a welcome early seniors dinner at the Burgermeister right here in Alameda.
Tonight Mommie flew in from Manila. If you’ve never met anyone at the SF International Terminal, there is a video monitor that gives you a hint your visitor has just cleared customs and is on their way out.
Leave happy. We had to try the golden pancakes with fresh sliced banana, rum-butter flavored glaze and toasted macadamia nuts after seeing the IHOP ads on TV.
