The Fables of Aesop
I collect folk tales and old books - especially ones with good illustrations. Here are some scans from a book originally copyright in 1894 (the edition I have was printed in 1917).

A drawing that my daughter made
My daughter received a bunch of art supplies from her friends for her birthday and did a little sketch of a tree on a hill just for fun.

Zombie Ramone
My daughter is going to Redmond for a Thriller zombie dance movie thing. The only redeeming thing about a Michael Jackson related event is that she found a Ramones t-shirt at Value Village to wear. (but she cut it up, omg)

Haven't been to the new coffee place in Kirkland. They have the largest single block of wood table I've ever seen

The UnderTown in Pt Townsend
This past weekend we headed out of town to visit Pt. Townsend on the Peninsula. The weather couldn't have been better for this time of year - blue sky and sunny from the time we arrive to when we left on Sunday. We did a little walking around the beaches and forests of Ft Worden doing some geocaching and after a dinner we were looking for a cool place to hang out. Rinneke spotted this brightly lit stairway going down underground into who knows where. We could hear music drifting up so we went down. It turned out to be the UnderTown, a coffee/wine bar and they had live music on Saturday night. It was a great way to relax, have a warm drink and spend some time together. If you are ever in Pt Townsend check it out.

Korean BBQ with Rubicon team
This past Wednesday several of the Rubicon Project engineering team went out for dinner at a Korean BBQ in LA. It was a good mix of a working meeting - talking about engineering practices and development in general - and good food and drink. The meat was all very tasty and only at the end did I find out what some of it was. I had never had beef tongue before - I always swore I wouldn't taste anything that could taste me back - but it was all really good, especially the soju (a lot like vodka).

Swimming at the beach
After a few months of travel to LA I finally took time to go swimming in the surf. We headed north from Santa Monica and wound up near Malibu.

First soccer tournament of the year
Three games today and three Sunday - only 30 minute games so it's turbo soccer. Stephan's team is playing well so far.
They shoot! They score!
