I had an intruder this evening! I was so nervous I couldn’t get a good shot.


Did an overnighter in SLC, ventured out in the evening and shot the famous LDS Salt Lake Temple with my G7, handheld 1/25th f3.2, ISO 1600. Really noisy eh.

We had a very full weekend. Today Ate Anna and Stephen came over for lunch. We started off with a great green salad by Sandy. I grilled pork ribs, chicken, corn on the cob & asparagus. This was followed up with some homemade macapuno ice cream.
Shortly after our meal I had to run Tita Flor over to the Amtrak station at JLS to catch her train back to Sacramento.
Of course I forgot to photograph the food!


Uncle Russell turned 60 today. We were invited to a surprise birthday party at the beautiful home of Sheldon & Debbie. There was way too much great tasting food.
Humm… 1947, Uncle wasn’t that before cars were invented?






This morning we were honored by a visit from Tita Flor. We picked her up at the Jack London Square Amtrak station and she treated us to breakfast at our local Chuck Corica Golf Course. I couldn’t finish my biscuits and gravy, the portions were huge! Sandy had the waffles and Tita Flor had an omelette the size of Rhode Island.



After breakfast, I wandered the grounds and ran into Chef Taka from our favorite Japanese restaurant Angel Fish of Alameda. Uh… he’ll be closed Sunday through Wednesday for a much needed vacation, FYI.



What a gorgeous day for a premeditated date. I hopped on the Harbor Bay Ferry and met Sandy in the city. We then strolled over to Sai’s for a tasty bowl of Phó.






It was a decent day as far as the weather goes, so on my way home I stopped off at Treasure Island to shoot a couple of Panoramas with my G7. The 1st photo is stitched together from 8 vertical images. The second is 7 horizontal images. For obvious reasons I can’t offer the full resolution images as they are approx 28MB.


Well it’s been 3 days now and we still have all 4 little ducklings. I’m hopeful that this is not just by chance, that the small family protected by an experienced mother is paying off. Not to mention the 6 lbs of scratch I’ve fed them.

According to Billboard, Jon’s new CD is now #8. Those 5 CDs I bought at the flea market must have paid off… funny they were in a Kenny Rogers case.
