Visiting with grandpa today is also a great chance for Monica to enjoy balancing rock piles on the beach. A local artist started doing it some time ago, and Monica really enjoys joining in. Gabe of course always enjoys playing at the beach even if he always says the exact opposite.
Charlotte and her dad enjoy a beautiful sunny day in Capitola after a few rainy days. Next time maybe they’ll bring their BMX bikes and take advantage of the radical jumps people have created. Gordon’s computer is on the fritz again. Computers in general can be quite a pain, but there’s nothing that sucks quite as much as a PC running Windows.
Another day in Fremont for criterium racing with Monica. The rain has given us a short break today, and that makes me a very happy man. Feeling really strong again this week. I’m hopeful it will be a good year for racing. That’s me in the yellow helmet.
Monica has been working so hard for her school play. She’s finished the performances at school, and only tonight’s play for parents remains. Gabe shows a bit of his own impressive acting skills. While Monica and her class show Gabe how it’s really done. And the players take their well earned applause. The party afterwards is a bit of a mob scene. We’re so proud of our fairy queen. ...
Monica and Charlotte join me for some cold, early morning criterium racing. The weather has been great this year for the first chance to get in some racing. Hopefully this year I’ll have more opportunities to get in some good events. It’s great having the girls along to cheer me on.
The birds have been going crazy over the berries in the bush outside our front window. They’ve been making a racket and we recently noticed that they’ve been gorging on them so much that they’ve been crashing into the window regularly. The bushes are full of robins and cedar waxwings getting wasted on ripe berries. While Gabe and I log some quality Playstation time.
