The 80s Called – They Want Their Unicorn Back
—
by
The 1988 BMW M5 has been on my automotive bucket list since the list existed. In 1988, I was making $3.35 an hour, so this car was just a bit out of reach for a senior in high school. At the time, this car was a little too adult for me anyway, and the E30…

On Sunday, August 17th, after I recovered from the Art Fair ride, Grace said we had to get the kids some soccer gear for camp that was starting on Monday. She needed the rest of the day to work, so the kids and I went out. Lucas recalled that I had promised him we’d go…

Burlingame Art Fair

by
On Sunday, August 17th, we had brunch on the Ave. The kids wanted to check out the rides again, so we walked over while it was still cool and uncrowded. They tried them all. The most aggressive ride was one that swung forward and back and then all the way around. I don’t know what…

Birthday Dinner

On March 27, 2014, Grace had just walked in the door from a work trip to London. We had dinner at our usual spot with the kids. It turned out to be a late dinner and the kids were fried, so we ended up taking our entrees to go. This is what birthdays are now,…

After our awesome ski trip last weekend, the kids were excited to head back to Tahoe. Grace was up for making it a family trip this time. We didn’t commit to go until Thursday because of the weather and schedules. I spent Monday and Tuesday negotiating with Lucas about ski school and he finally said,…

New Year’s Eve with Snickers at Home
—
by
After traveling for the holidays, it was nice to just spend some time relaxing at home (i.e., all playing Candy Crush on our devices). Although I had suggested dinner out, our schedule was a little off and we just ate at home. Snickers must have missed us a lot because he was unusually social all…

by
We used to play here all the time a decade ago. The bad news is that Grace says this is the end of the Summer Golf Tour. The good news is that we’re gearing up for the Fall Tour after a short break.

New Commute: Bike + Train – Day 8
—
by
There’s a lot of shuffling going on at home. New nanny is driving Grace’s car. Grace is driving my car. I’m driving… For just under 7 years, I’ve been driving to San Francisco every day. I’ve just calculated that I spent about $36K on parking during that time, plus gas. We’ve always lived near public…
