Twinsies pictures of Snoopy and foster Dolly (fka Penny). This was the day Shea finally got to share his major keto cheesecake concoction. It was well-received and it was a nice way to wind down Pride Day after a sojourn into the city. The dogs, including our two new fosters, really enjoy going to the pool and being around us while we’re relaxing in the warm pool water. It’s nice to have such long days with lots of hours of light to linger into the evenings.
After working remotely for more than four years, I finally had a good excuse to go down and see our gorgeous campus in Duarte, California. I had sometimes waved to the building from the freeway when driving by on my way to vacation in Palm Springs, but earlier this week I had the privilege of speaking about my pro bono tobacco activism at the Pride Health Symposium. I was also recently asked to join the Board of Pride in the City, which is the LGBTQ employee group. My closest fellow co-workers also came from far and wide to support me, which was so heart-warming. I am very lucky to work with such great people and such an important institution fighting the scourges of cancer and diabetes every day!

Wonderful dinner with Shea, Shani, and her husband Steve at Bambino’s Restaurant here in Vallejo.
All S names!
Xmas came early for me, thanks to Shani’s thoughtfulness and generosity, giving me a beautiful framed piece for my wall when I move back home in a couple of months.
My visiting daughter is in love with Julie and Trundy’s dog, Bentley, who is a Yorkie mix that I’m dogsitting this week. I think Bentley reminds Alexandra of our beloved Montague. Foster Dolly is getting a little jealous of Bentley, but Bentley was not having it when I held her, making sure to kiss me to prove that she was in a superior position to Dolly. Girls, girls! Stop fighting over me!
Sailor Jack’s in Benicia was able to accommodate us by the water as we rounded out the long Father’s Day weekend visit with my daughter.
