Panoramic Heaven

I spent all day in front of my computer. I finally got some time to try out a new piece of Panoramic Stitching software. Autopano Pro works so well I went back to all those hard to stitch shots and created 38 panos. Woo Hoo!

Phở Weather

A rainy day like today is perfect Phở weather! So I picked up Sandy at BART and we went to our favorite Phở establishment. I got so excited I forgot to take a photograph before we devoured our meal. Here’s the aftermath.

Life On the Road

Today Sandy had the day off so I showed her what life on the road for me is like. I had a call to make in Visalia. So off we went on a central valley adventure. I worked while Sandy explored the downtown area. Afterwards we stopped at the Bravo Cheese Factory and Cafe 99 in Traver for some shopping and lunch. Traver is just a small gas station/diner town but it had most interesting decor, both live and stuffed. BTW I did come home with some curds!

Calendario

One of the joys of January is waiting til mid month to buy a calendar. While they only cost $4.99 the selection is pretty uh…slim. So tonight while we were at Longs I got my hands on my 2008 calendar, which I will enjoy all year.

Saturday

We woke up early today and I was lucky enough to have Sandy make me Salmon Benedict.

Later we worked in the backyard so neither of us felt like cooking, so we went to India Palace for dinner. We had the #2, 15, 45, 58, 65, 77 and a big Golden Eagle to wash it all down.

Of course we make sure we order enough so we have plenty to take home. We’ll add chicken & lamb so we can enjoy it all week.

Dine About Town Vol 1

Today we decided to take advantage of San Francisco’s 7th Annual Dine About Town. We chose B44 to, “Come and take home a slice of Catalan life in Barcelona, Spain”. Of course when food & alcohol are involved… we have to invite Jim & Kelly.

Tami’s Dirty 30 Party

Tonight we met at Poleng for a surprise birthday party for Tami, set up by Chris. We went there early for dinner. The food was great as was the service. I’m gonna have to try and duplicate the Grilled Pork and Pineapple special.
