More pictures from Napa on Flickr

Went to Napa Valley a couple weeks ago to meet up with a friend of mine and Rick’s out here on a business trip. We took a day trip to San Francisco and saw Fisherman’s Wharf. We took a 1-hour boat tour around the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz. It was great! By far the best $10 I’ve spent on a touristy thingy.

Rick and I went to Los Angeles for a huge Thanksgiving gathering with Mom, Gene and the whole fam-damily. There were about 10 of us at the dinner table that night. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Thanksgiving dinner that big! Tami’s mom, Jeannie, cooked a fabulous turkey dinner and Gene soundly beat everyone in the house at ping-pong. Good times.

Am now extremely happy to be home for a while now. Work is copious which is great for the pocketbook but bad for my sore shoulder. Do deep-tissue massages count as a tax-deductible business expense? I sure hope so.

More pictures of Tina and Joey’s visit on Flickr

A couple of friends from my old job came to visit a few weekends back. Tina and Joey showed up with bags from Trader Joe’s in tow. Best house guests ever! Although Pixel started out being very unfriendly he soon warmed up and was soon following the guests wherever they went, hoping for more peanut butter treats.

Rick and I took Tina and Joey for some light hiking in Montaña de Oro state park Saturday morning. In the afternoon we visited Tobin James, Eberle and Frank Ross out on the 46E for some wine tasting. Sunday morning we went for breakfast at the golf course clubhouse and then they were back to LA. We all had a fabulous time!
