T-day 400 years ago

It's a BIT easier nowadays with Safeway, microwaves, refrigerators, paper plates and Bev Mo! It's all about gratitude.

WHAAAT!? No way!!!

What five word phrase could almost ruin a traditional Thanksgiving?
"Let's do it on Saturday"

Martha Stewart would be appalled!!! However, we awarded each one of us PERSONAL GROWTH POINTS for flexibility as we gathered together, took a great hike, warmed up a cabin in the tallest of redwoods, ate a perfect picnic, sang a few songs, told stories and enjoyed all the glorious colors of Fall.
Our friend in the center of the photo is a wine-maker; his red-headed wife a chef, so they will be family forever.
Drew (in Peruvian hat) is doing well, Taj is now living in our downstairs apartment, Lauren is so happy with her boyfriend, Ben, and Clarke and Lisa (her Mom, Pat, to the far right of the "Smokin' Sisters") are as solid as ever. We are soooo fortunate and enormously grateful.
The invite is open for next year's "ThanksSaturday" if you want to join us.
Love,
Tina and Chuck

Path of Totality

In the path just outside Sublimity, Oregon

And then upstairs...

Rodin (and all the subtext of HIS behavior) meets a British "modern invader" Sarah Lucas. Makes a person laugh, think and look at panty hose differently from now on.

Degas, Impressionism and the Paris Millinery Trade

Confections of feathers, ribbons, straw, velvet and lace surrounded by marvelous paintings, drawings and posters will remain at the Legion of Honor through the summer. It will transport you to another age of elegance.

Circling the Bay

We circled the San Francisco Bay a few times this weekend. A small circle in the North and East Bay on Saturday (with a pause on Grizzly Peak) and a complete Petaluma to South San Jose circle on Sunday.
There's certainly a lot of water, beauty and brainpower.

Sort of scary....

Chuck gets his Doctorate and an AAU Trinity looms larger than life in the background. A Renaissance composition for sure. Or maybe something from those dark Dutch Masters?
