San Jose and San Mateo

We have just finished an abbreviated but fantastic NorCal visit. We have some work issues that need to be addressed in person and so had to cut our visit short and are en route to CdA for a couple weeks.

When you are young you think that the friends you have will be in your life forever. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have it be true.

Don't be fooled by the picture, Aki and I actually do like each other, and have for almost 25 years. That makes us sound old but I assure you we are not.

Everything I start to write about our visit starts to sound like a long sappy love letter so I'll just say thanks for a good time.

Now it just sounds weird.

That works.




Cindy and Eric hosted the most amazing dinner. With 12 week old Julia pizza and a six pack would have been amazing, but no, think amazing appetizers, oyster and artichoke soup, crab legs, gourmet salad, garlic bread and pie.

Sorry, two pies.

So we keep them up until three in the morning solving the world's problems and they get up and make us blueberry pancakes. And they're still smiling.


Meredith and I and our babies; some bigger than others. Robb and I have tried to not be those people who repeatedly tell new parents how fast it goes. But look; here I have undeniable proof.


We love you guys and look forward to the next time our paths cross!!
