The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission
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 I’ll try again during the early morning hours with my 5D.
Canon G7 – ISO 100 – 1/636 sec @ f4. Don’t look too close Jim, it’s sloppy.
Freda arrived in SFO today fresh from her trip to visit Alex in Korea. Upon arrival, she demanded to be taken to Goldilocks… I think she had to stock up on munchies. Thanks for the gifts of Korean tea, Spam, pottery and the shirt. Sadly, everyone is leaving for South Carolina tomorrow. We’ll miss them dearly. Please remember, you checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave.
Since Tawny is out here college shopping, we asked Tami give us a personal tour of the UC Berkeley campus. I had no idea of the size of the campus. I was so tired from walking we had to eat at Raleighs.
Steve invited us to a joint birthday celebration today at Tilden Park. We hardly knew anyone, but warm and friendly is always the M.O. at Steve’s parties.
Of course Steve doesn’t act like your typical 60 year old, but that’s why we love him.

WooHoo! LeCheval tonight for dinner. We finally got to use that gift certificate, thanks Tom & Peneli. The food was excellent as usual. Tawny even tried the snake juice!
Photo on the left was taken on 6/27/07. Photo on the right is from today, same ducks. The mother is now pushed out to the back in the daily scramble for food. They are scratch eating machines, or should I say pigs! Soon enough, these pigs will learn to fly.
After a big caldereta dinner, Tawny went for a run around the island while Sandy & Alex struggled to keep up on bikes. I laid on the couch.
We got tired of Freda so we sent her off to Korea, then we partied at the Aloha Festival in the Presidio. We consumed large portions of Kalua Pork, BBQ Chicken, Lau Lau and Spam Musubi. Later we drove out to Fort Point at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Today Freda, Tawny & Aleki arrived from South Carolina. We had lunch at Goldilock’s, then headed straight to the Monterey Strawberry Festival. Uh… it was a bit smaller than I imagined but nonetheless we had a fun time. This was followed by dinner at our favorite Phó eatery.
Last Sunday, we attended the reception of Stephen & Anna in Rossmoor. We had a great time and we wish them all the happiness in the world.
I’ll post more photos later
