Ruben riding through IndiaIt’s been a busy past couple of days… I built a computer for Ruben so he will have something nice for the school year. In return he has promised to send Deb and I email at least 3 times a week. I figure that will last about a week, and then we’ll be lucky to get mail from him once a month. It’s ok though. I’ll know where he lives.:)

The Indian restaurant up the street has a stuffed horse on display. Ruben couldn’t help himself.. he had to ride the horse around the place. It was quite funny. He looks to be about 10 in the picture, but he’s actually 15. 16 next month!

More later, continuing my upgrade to XP and hoping that my computer runs better now.

The Zoo

Unclemonkeyboi and I took Ruben to the San Francisco Zoo yesterday to celebrate Swampie’s birthday. Had a great time as neither UMB or Ruben had been before, and everything was cool to them. The new monkey exhibit is really nice, and definitely check out the Lemur Island.

Afterwards, we went back to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to check out the tidepools. The tide was still pretty high when we got there, so we did some cliff climbing and exploring until the tide went out enough we could search for starfish. We didn’t manage to find any.

Oh well.

It’s been great having Ruben around. I almost feel like a dad. I took him back to school shopping over the weekend and everything. He called his mom today and got permission to stay here longer, and I’ll be driving him back home to Oregon over Labor Day weekend. That should be fun.

More later…

Photo Album

I’ve spent several hours working on my website tonight. I start school next week, and I know that I will not get as much time to work on it during the semester. That being said, I added like six new pages to the Photo Album.

Have a look. There will be more coming. I plan to spend a lot of time on the site this weekend, tweaking and adding new pages.

Off to sleep. I have websites to create at work tomorrow.

Maybe Christian (student at work) was right today when he said I need a life. :-)

Summer Vacation

Although it’s been what… 11 years since high school. I still haven’t gotten over the fact that I don’t get summers off. I think it should be mandatory that everyone gets their summers off to go swimming, go to the beach, just hang out with your friends and not have any responsibility. All landlords stop charging rent, banks don’t require repayment, utilities are free…

I think I’m on to something here. A three-month long siesta! I wonder how much more productive we would be during the other nine months of the year, knowing we had the vacation to look forward to.

*sigh* It’s been one of those days…

Went to the The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve today. What a cool place… a ton of tide pools, starfish, hermit crabs, and all kinds of creatures. If you’re in the area, check it out.
