Had the best dinner. I had Steak Frite, but we kind of shared everything. 

Finished the evening with cones from Fairfax Scoop. Sorry no pics. The ladies didn't want me showing pics of their tripple scoop towers.

Put together furniture and set up the home theatre speakers.  I think we are going to have to move that tv mount the previous owners had up. 

Not sure why Yumi always has to get the largest media center.  
 

 

Let's just pretend she does it for proper speaker separation. 

I turned 20,000 days old today... (yes, really)

So you'll drink to that?

As will we all.

Funny, you don't look a day over 18,000. 

Me right now:

Happy 19,946th unbirthday!  (drinks)

Happy birthdayish. 20,000 means you're the mightiest of them all! 

 

I took a 20,000 step hike. 

I think it won.

I am not so mighty...

Ouch. You were supposed to do it under the sea. 

How did the shower afterwards feel? 😖

Twas a bit on the stingy side.  Can you tell it is blackberry season in the PNW?

Dropped Peter off at CSU on Monday. 

Congrat! Awesome pics, and the second one made me a little misty. 🥲

Me too. 

I love that too.....

When I helped Andrew move in for his Senior year (my Karen stayed at home), I was good saying goodbye.  But on the way home, Cat Stevens' "Father & Son" came on my playlist and I almost had to pull over my tears were so heavy....

But if the kids are doing well, it makes me happy - we are doing good things for them, and they are thriving!

Awesome.  I love a good cry.  I'm eating Jalapenos with Habanero sauce right now.  Gonna peel some onions later.  🤣

Maybe watch Old Yeller.

Met the Brits (Grahame and Joanne) for a lovely little pre-work hike in the fog this morning. Such a nice way to start the day!

Indeed.

Before.

During.

After.

The King Mountain Loop is something special.

And on a good day you can see Mt Tam,

San Quentin 

And the San Francisco Skyline

 from the trail.

Or if you are a recent PowerBall winner ...

It is British weather after all.

I still object to the loose use of the word mountain in the bay area though.

That's a mountain!

By the way, Steve, if you are around on Friday mornings at about 7:30 you are more than welcome to come join! We'd love your company!

Already an hour into my work day by then, but thanks for the offer.

...studying/doing homework/interviewing...

Last night: Macklemore and Imagine Dragons with the kids at Fenway.

Great show, good to see live music again. 

Got a picture of Peter with a few of his Class of 2026 friends.

He’s in the middle bottom of the C.

Oh yeah, I see him now.

Passed the first round of interviewing on my dream job!
