My Very Own Holiday

Thanks to everyone who called, emailed, and sent cards to me the other day. And extra special thanks to those who bought me something. Those people I place on a pedestal higher above all others.

Friday night was Amanda's Fiesta de Adios...she's going off to Yale to be a doctor and hopefully provide me with various pharmaceutical drugs. Thank you, Amanda. We will miss you.

The crew outside Maggiano's - I'm very happy...mainly because I know Amanda is leaving.

Amanda, Me, and G.Solis.

Saturday the good folks from Leland held a BBQ at Crissy Fields. From what I recall, Alex picked me and about 14 other people up to cram into his Toyota and we proceeded to take the extended tour of the lovely penninsula and Marina district of SFO. While it was a beautiful tour, it took us several days to reach our destination. Seriously though, it was an awesome day - great weather, good food, and the exhausting game of Ultra Frisbee on the side. Thanks guys and to everyone who came.

The shitty view from our BBQ spot. This picture makes me wanna vomit.

Roger admiring my keen ability to devour a hot wing. Notice my focus...my concentration...my zen...

I was totally not impressed with Annie's jokes. Also continue to note the terrible view we had at our picnic spot.

Jaime has excellent form and follow through as the frisbee glides towards Vanessa. However I should also add that she was aiming for Marcus.

Like the timeless classic 'Football in The Groin,' life imitates art as Gene successfuly interprets 'Aerobie to The Face.'

Alex - after throwing said 'Aerobie' to said 'Face.'

Laura getting skin cancer.

Daniel and Richard - I can't really think of anymore clever captions.

My Spiderman bicycle. Also the same bike Lance uses in the Tour. Note that I have also graduated from 2 wheels to 4, enabling me to tackle any terrain.

On Sunday I got a pleasant email from Ayuko wishing me a felíz cumpleaños! In case you didn't know, Ayuko is the girl who helped salvage my Japanese grade at school. Also, she is now married! Omedetou!

Kawaii desu ne...(I have now used up all the Japanese I currently know, and have ever learned)

Ayuko and Minoru. Lucky bastard!
