The Birds

The first weekend in March we collected a group (3 cars full) of friends and went down to the Paramount Theater in Oakland to watch AH's The Birds. I spent the next few days being painfully aware of all bird sounds.

Fast forward a few weeks and I am driving into the parking lot behind my apartment. I notice several small finch like birds swooping around and found it rather odd. Imagine my confusion when walking up behind the apartments I see that ALL these 9 or 11 birds appear to be attacking my roommates bathroom window. Below is the sketch I drew at work the next day.



It was seriously creepy.

Here we are at the movie.










Buddy J

J is one of the best kids EVER, I know I'm partial just because he looks like an angel sometimes - but he is a laugh. Here he is hanging out with me at one of Gabi's soccer games.





He was really excited to "juggle" the golf balls - translated he would shake them in his hands and then throw them at me.

2011 Giants Fan Fest

Saturday we went down to SF for Fan Fest. When we got there they were no longer letting people into the stadium it was so full. We stopped for lunch and then after giving up trying to get into the main gate happened upon an open door where no one was waiting and they let us onto the field. The weather was beautiful!


Here we are outside the main gate before getting in.

B - really excited about getting Will Clark's signature on his baseball.

In the press box.

Visiting with law enforcement.

Ice Skating

They open up an ice rink downtown in the winter, we went MLK weekend only a couple days before it closed. The ice was pretty bad - but still a good time.
