What are the odds that my daughter was on Babytalk in 1993 and my good friend, Chris Wyant, was also featured on the cover of the same magazine years earlier? Amazing!
Had brunch with my daughter and son-in-law in Berkeley. Shando and I later went on a schooner ride from Sausalito (a belated birthday gift of his). It was a glorious day. On the schooner I got to see Angel Island up close for the first time ever. There are also some great shots of downtown Sausalito where we stopped for coffee and gelato, as well (with Italian tourists even).
Prompted by the article she wrote for the site on being the “only black yogi in the room” she shines during an interview and talks a bit about her life journey so far.
My daughter prepared a mostly vegan meal the day after thanksgiving, which was more convenient for everyone who was not hanging out with their in-laws on Thanksgiving Day this year, which also would have been my father’s birthday.
I paid for the groceries and Alexandra did a lot of the work, with Rob’s help, especially cleaning up. My daughter featured this on her blog prominently and was happy to mention that none of the family or friends who also were able to partake even asked where the meat was because it was so fulfilling and tasty, despite being very healthy.
Visited my daughter and Jesus with my dogs. We walked from their place to the nearby park, where to my surprise they have water skiing. It’s right next to the busy freeway and close to downtown Berkeley. What a juxtaposition. Our evening followed a visit to Peet’s Coffee on the newly renewed part of 4th Street, which reminds my daughter and me very much of Park Slope, Brooklyn. Later we had dinner at Herbivore, which I had gone to many times on Valencia Street in San Francisco, but never before at their Berkeley location.
