our yard is great. sure it's dusty, and the stairs are crumbling, and you may have to dodge some crazy eyed coonhounds or a beagle....but when you get down to it, a simple picnic table, charcoal grill, and some rad friends are all you need to stay entertained on a summer night in the redwoods.

friday night:
caldo verde

Kelly serving up a delicious gingersnap nectarine torte

saturday morning went a little slower than usual, but i still squeezed in a good 13 miles at henry cowell. this is my post run snack.


we lost power in the afternoon so we took a drive into santa cruz for an iced coffee.

headed down the coast to catch the sunset. (aptos)
stopped for tacos
and then finished off the day with an ice cream
the next morning started as usual...
with a high speed chase down west cliff with Kelly and her all terrain roller skates! (7 miles)
we met up with some friends visiting from the east bay that evening...and like most friends, we shared stories..secrets.. baseball cards...needles...and a bounty of buffalo burgers...sadly, i failed to document this spectacular ending to my weekend grill-scapades.
