Blast from the Past


How many years does it take for people to pop out babies? It seems like yesterday when Kimberly and Brett lived up the hill. But now their tourists from Eugene, Oregon. Luckily San Francisco played nice and it was a lovely afternoon in the city.

Seeing Kimberly is always like opening a drawer of memories. One memory was of Buddy Love from the sketch comedy show, Kids in the Hall. Kimberly is the porridge that Goldie Lockes chose ... just right. I wish they were closer but even short visits are refreshing.

A Castle Rises In the Napa Valley

Having lived, gone to school, and worked in the Napa Valley, I was surprised to hear about a new winery that was opening North of St. Helena. Castello di Amorosa is an authentic replica of a castle one might find in Italy. The tour takes you through the four upper and the four lower floors and is worth the price of admission. It feels a bit like Disney ... but it is a great way to see something new and taste wine in a truly unique setting.
