What's Up


Hey everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update. Jamie and Jake came to visit us earlier this week. I think we about walked them to death, but it was a good time nonetheless. Plus they got to go to Vegas afterward and rest up. We hit all the usual stops which never seem to get old plus we added a few new stops to the tour. Mt. Tam hike, Alcatraz, which I had never been and Height Ashbury. Which Jules and I hit the next day because I saw a shirt I wanted. By the way, just so you know, never ever under any circumstance go to the Mcdonalds on Height st. ever. Trust me. I didn't get the shirt but I may have gotten hepatitis.


The rest of our week was pretty uneventful. Jules had pajama day twice at school which made our mornings infinitely easier. His akido class is going really well and this week he got to throw his teacher Al across the mat. Amazing things that does to the 4 yr old ego. This weekend we went to the farmers market, and hiked a trail by our house where we encountered a pond full of newts an handful of small snakes and one huge snake. Jason is still healing from my fingernails in his side. It was pretty huge.
I think we're gonna stay inside this week.
That's about it I guess. I did finish reading swanns way, but that's just a personal achievement. only five more books and 2500 pages left. Whoo Hoo!
I'm trying to get more video of jules to post, but he's on to me so I must devise a craftier plan.

Bad Blogger


Well, it's official. I am a bad bad blogger. I hope everyone is doing well.Things have been kinda crazy around here Jason has switched jobs and is now working for the Morphic group, which is a consulting firm in Boston. No we are not in fact moving back to Boston thank goodness. Jason gets to work from home which is nice for all of us. He likes it alot so far , and I think the work is right up his alley. Right now his only obstacle is Mama kitty jumping on his keyboard all the time. But in all fairness he is the only thing separating her from the window sill so he is kind of asking for it.


Julien is great. The stress of swim class was to much to bear for him so Jason and I are teaching him and he has moved on to Akido, which he absolutely loves. He gets to perfect all of his ninja tricks and roll on the floor. What more could a little boy ask for. The newest thing is that he is learning Spanish which is great but he is picking it up way faster than me, which leaves me to spend my evenings with his flash cards trying to cath up. Muey importante? Maybe.


California is still great. We haven't been on many big adventures of late. Well I haven't. Unless you count inner city Oakland, which I completely do. Jason got to go to Vegas a few weeks back with some friends. This past Sunday we took Jules to see his first baseball game. It was so cool to see his face as we walked into the stadium, he was soo excited. Giant vs Cardinals, we beat your butt. You can feel sad about it if you want, I would. The payback was that it was unseasonably warm for San Fran, and we literally baked in the sun. The stadium is right on the bay but there was nary a breeze. But after tickets 8 dollar hot dogs 6 dollar waters and a 12 dollar foam finger we were broke and hot and happy. All worth it.


Jaime and Jake are coming this weekend and Jules has been counting down on his calender. It should be a pretty good time. I'll let you know.
