Oysters!

When Scott and Kelley came to visit, we went to Tomales Bay for oysters. The Hog Island Oyster Company picnic area was great. The sunset was amazing, and the oysters were even better (we had the local "Sweetwater Smalls").

Wine Tasting in Napa

The best wine tasting road trip! We hired a limo to Napa with Scott and Kelly, Josh and Melissa, and Sammy. We visited St. Clement, Niebaum-Coppola, and Whitehall Lane. Lunch at Rutherford Grill was amazing - the ribs are TO DIE FOR - and that is coming from two Texans!

Here are some pictures on Flickr of Nora as Cinderella. She has been wearing this princess dress almost every day since then!

There are some pix of our "grown up" Halloween party in the Flickr set as well... That was a huge buzz night! Our first big party in our Potrero Hill house.

Plant Trees + Stop Junk Mail = Green Dimes

I just found this web site to deal with my huge junk mail problem: GreenDimes. For a dime a day they get your name off direct mailing lists and keep it off, and plant a tree for you every month. So if you want to stop your mailbox from overflowing, and save some trees, take a look at GreenDimes. Note: I have noticed a HUGE reduction in the amount of junk mail I have been getting!
