Another Marathon, Angel Island and Wine



It's been a fun last couple of months. First, there was my second marathon (26.2 miles is still a very long way) in Fremont. Then there was a run with beer and tacos at the finish line and the opportunity to see Aladdin the musical in Sacramento.

There was a quick trip to the Bradley Lodge for Memorial Day ... we got snow! Work has been fun with two team building activities ... the first to Angel Island (on the same day my sister-in-law and nephew were there) and then to Driven Raceway (indoor go-karts).

Fourth of July was also celebrated ... first with one of my fastest 10k's at the Kenwood Footrace, then the Napa Parade, followed by a concert and fireworks in the park.

Wine was also a highlight (as always). I was able to visit Kunde for the first time before going to my second White Party at Chalk Hill, and got to see one of my original roommates at Azur. My neighbors and I also enjoyed some wine at our neighborhood park, plus two trips to The Village, once for Festival Napa Valley and the second time for lunch and a tasting at the Foley Food & Wine Society, plus a great outdoor tasting at Bouchaine.

Typo

We all make typos and while I was on the Los Angeles Times Web site this morning I saw this one and had to share. Although it really would have been a political breakthrough for President Obama to visit Iran , he actually visited Iraq (note: the LA Times did correct the typo within an hour and when you clicked through to the full story it was always correct).

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .
