Seasons Greetings to all. I had a great holiday. Worked 3 days, then had the entire next week off. Drove up to Sac with Sim & her two dogs to spend Xmas with my family. Stopped over in Fresno to see the Barney clan and the near completion of their remodeled kitchen. Had a nice, relaxed, although cold time despite 16 hours of driving and 3 dog poop incidents. After another 2.5 days of work, we had a nice New Year's Eve dinner party, before flying back up to Sac on New Year's day. Hung out with the folks, then took off for the So Bay to see Yasuda & his family in Sunnyvale. Had a great dinner out in Palo Alto at Laverna. Saturday was my godson, Jack Isola's christening in Palo Alto with a party at the Isola's house to follow with tons of family & old friends. Then I was off to Santana Row in San Jose for dinner at Straits with two of my old high school buddies, Steve Toves & Rob Cruz. Then a drive out to Lafeyette for a nightcap with Tony & Mona Keeler. Back to Sac in the morning for lunch with Tony Baldini and Caroline. Then back to SD. Now, its back to the grind.....for four days before I head out to Ft Lauderdale for a week of work. Hope all had a nice holiday. It was great to catch up and see so many friends & family. I'm gearing up for a busy year with lots of travel. Hoping to see everyone soon. Try to get out to SD because for sure our weather is better than yours. Best wishes to all. Here's to a fantastic 2004. Cheers
