There's nothing worse than being the captive audience of someone's home videos or photo album, so I'm assuming you're here because you're interested. If you want to view the photos, please click on the title.

I've made these gifs small for a quick load.

• Andy and John having dim sum at Jade Villa, our favorite place in Oakland (CA). It's at 8th and Broadway. Make reservations and prepare to wait. Oh yes, and it helps if you have a party of 10 or more because there are precious few tables for 2 or 4! Worth the wait, though!
• Matt celebrates his birthday in La Paz, Baja Mexico. The waiter brought him a shot of tequila, which he was most enthusiastic to try. This was his first hard liquor. He wasn't prepared for the kick. The look on his face - - check those eyes! - - says it all. Needless to say, he did -not- have a second shot!
• Matt windsurfing in Dana Point Harbor. He was a natural at it - - didn't get that from his mother!
• is a photo of Chocolate and me (Crater Lake in the background).
