Spotted one today on a bike ride on Mt. Diablo. Here he is. He was a big one. So very cool to see these guys. Was riding with Lupe and Dave. Dave had already gone by it when I spotted it. Luckily Lupe had her cell phone along so we could grab a picture.

At The Stone Foxes Show

Went to my second (and equally awesome) Stone Foxes show last night with Lupe and Darin. We enjoyed meeting Avi from the band, and his mother, who was visiting from Los Angeles. It was a very fun show at The Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco. The band recorded the whole show with multiple cameras for a DVD they are planning to make. Look up "The Stone Foxes" and also "Avi Vinocur" on youtube for some very good music, with lots of humor. We all had a great time!

Call it "Phase 2." After the pavers and grass went in, I finally added the bench into the wall. Now that fall is here I will be able to place some plants around it (in the summer the ground is too hard to dig). Looking forward to finishing the space with some plants.

Marathon #7

Early!

Sarah, Lupe and I all ran the San Francisco Marathon August 3rd. Lupe beat us by over an hour, of course, but I think Sarah and I had a great run. You can follow this photo to her flickr page for a few more shots of the run.

It's been a while. Been training for my 6th marathon, with my niece Sarah. We finished strong! Lots of great pictures at Kevin's flickr page (just click on the photo). Some from my camera too, at www.flickr.com/photos/soupbones

Just wondering if I should be worried. The confirmation number for my flight home for the holidays includes this sequence of letters: "BBQ."

I smell smoke. Anyone smell smoke?

Well, I'm number 64, anyway. Thanksgiving day Turkey Trot, a nice 4-miler. The photo by my brother Eli (those are his daughters in the pic).
