Bobs Hip and the heatwave

We are in Sacramento to help Kim's Dad with post hip surgery. Bob is home now and is getting around his house with the use of a walker. Never siezes to amaze me how they can replace a hip and 48 hours later the patient is walking around. It definately looks like he is on the road to recovery.

I like Sacramento and was looking forward to doing some activities with the girls but there is a record breaking heat wave going on here. Today it will reach 110 degrees. Thats not a typo I said 110 degrees. Basically we stay inside in the AC or go to the pool. Tomorrow we are going home.

Family on the move ..again

We are away from home again. Saturday we went up to Aptos for a wedding, Monday morning we headed to San Francisco and this morning we are heading to Sacramento to help Kim's Dad with post hip surgery care.

On Sunday, it looked like the fog was set in for the day but it cleared just in time for the wedding and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Congrats to Toby and Lansel! The Cantrell's were also there and it was good to travel with them. In usual form I handed out knick names (such as Corky) to people I really didnt know and generally got through the event without making too much of an ass of myself.

Yesterday we drove through Woodside on our way to SF. It was good to drive through the old place and to show the girls where I lived. Didnt spend long there and continued up to SF for lunch in China Town. After lunch we did the cable car thing down to Ghiradelli Square for some ice cream and rest. Spectacular day 80 degrees and views forever.

I cashed in some AMEX points and we are staying at the Fairmont. The view from our room goes from ATT park all the way to the GG. It literally looks like a post card window.



In typical fashion I arose early this morning (its now 6AM) and I am sitting in the lobby. They recently gave the lobby a much needed face lift and its looking good. I was enjoying the peace and quiet but a squadron of Japenese tourist just flocked into my area. Well thats enough for now I need to move out of this area before I lose my cool and its time to get ready to head to Sac. Cheers p

IMAC

Finally broke down and got an IMAC other day - what a rocking machine. As everyone told me...it just works, everything is sooo easy to do. In fact they offer blogging on .mac and I may be ready to make the change.
