Seattle-Port Townsend-Whidbey Island
My dear friend from law school came down from Vancouver, BC with his partner to hang out with Shando and me in Seattle for a few days and we had an amazing time. Shando had never been to Seattle and he wanted to see some of the Puget Sound areas, including Deception Pass. We had the best guides and were so lucky to make new friends also. We did get there during a heat wave (and no one in Washington has air conditioning by default).
Shando got me a great birthday lunch at the Seattle Space Needle, nitrogen-cooled ice cream bowl smoking away:

Hayward/East Bay Murals and Street Art
The East Bay has gotten a ton more murals since I lived here as a kid, but here are two of my favorites. Very Hollywood and Xanadu-like, right? The other picture is an art piece where the last working drive-in for the state of California existed, but which is now a group of stores, including a Walmart. This piece is near the Comcast shop.
Caricatures
One of Shando’s customers (signed “Sliva”) sketched these out from our online pictures.

Palm Springs with Shando
We had a good time enjoying the consistently 90-degree-plus weather for a long weekend. It was my first time flying into the PS airport. My good friend George, with the two schipperkes pictured below, let us borrow his car and I crashed at his lovely home one night while Shando was still at his work retreat. George, Shando, and I are pictured in a booth at Lulu’s Restaurant. Lucille Ball made an appearance in our album, too.
