David Makes The Fess Parker "Shooting Gallery"!



The Fess Parker Winery is looking for old photos of people wearing coonskin caps so that they can post them to the "Shooting Gallery" section of their website.

So naturally I had to send in my coonskin cap portrait that Margie took at the winery.

July 21 - 23: Santa Barbara, Wineries & Ostriches!!

Margie and I had a great time visting Santa Barbara, CA and the surrounding area. We used a tour map from the movie Sideways as our starting point and found some incredible places for winetastings! However, after just a few "sips" you begin to forget where you are. And after 5 wineries I wasn't sure if the ostriches we saw on the drive home were real or not! Notice how I looked at the Fess Parker winery (stop #3) and how Margie "glowed" at the Firestone Vineyard (stop #4). Needless to say, we didn't touch the stuff for the rest of our time in Santa Barbara!

"Go Yankees" - Brian


Brian may love California, but he's a New Yorker when it counts!

First Photos of Jeffrey at UCLA!

Margie and I spent the weekend in Santa Barbara visiting wine country, bicycling on the beach and relaxing. The highlight of the weekend was visiting Jeffrey at UCLA on Sunday, and being joined by Stephanie and Brian. We wandered around the campus and Westwood, then headed over near Malibu for dinner at Gladstones on the beach. It even made the "red-eye" flight back to New York worth it. Here are some photos from UCLA.





















Saturday night Jeff went to Universal Studios with friends from UCLA where he met Laura March and other friends from Armonk. Here's a closeup of them on the Jurassic Park ride.
