Jennifer & Selena + Marilyn & Val = Games & Fun
Jennifer & Selena came over on 9/1 for an evening of games and relaxation. Always a fun time!
Dinner with Out-of-town Family
On 8/31 I went to San Francisco and had dinner at Max’s Opera Cafe with Susan, Joel, Joe, and Kathy. Joe and Kathy were taking a break from their busy life in Manhattan to go to a wedding in Napa. It was a quick visit, only a couple of hours, but nice to see everyone. The kids couldn’t go because they were at Glynis & Susan’s, and Val wasn’t up to going out yet.
Haley at work
After accompanying me on an early morning trip to the dentist, Haley went to work with me on 8/24. We stayed until just after lunch, and I worked the resst of the day at home. Haley really liked my workplace. I told her she could work in a place like that if she got her degree in 3-D animation, which she wants to do. It’s been great, telling her that the best school for that is MIT’s Media Lab, and she needs all A’s to get in. Good brainwashing! 🙂
Menttium Dinner
Delicious dinner at 888 Ristorante Italian in San Carlos with my 6 Menttium Alumnae. We started out as mentees together around 12 (?) years ago, and get together for dinner 3-4 times a year. We’ve become friends, and watched our careers, lives, and families grow. I love the history I have with these strong and loving women.
Friends and Shopping
On Sunday the 19th I had brunch with Stacy, after which we picked up Susan and headed over to the Humanist Hall in Oakland for the yearly large women’s clothing sale to benefit Big Moves. We all got something, but Stacy really made out: two full bags of clothes for $65. AFter that we went over to the WeBeBop outlet and spent some more. A successful shopping day!
Jay & Timnah’s Wedding
Our dear friends got married at Timnah’s parents’ house in Mill Valley, overlooking the bay, like a slice of heaven. It was fabulous seeing them and all of our other friends who were there, and to share in their joy.
Maze Day – middle school registration
Kathie and I spent several hours on Thursday 8/16 staffing the table for the Music program at the middle school. I came back the next day to help our volunteers get started, and have been working ever since to enter all of the data from the forms we collected, and get information to the school about kids whose schedules need to change. Whew!
Speaking on a Panel, movie screening
I’m here at the DeFrank Center in San Jose to speak on a panel after a screening of the film “Pariah”, at an event called “Growing Tolerance: A Night of Black LGBTQ Visibility”
Taylor Maze Day
As the new Music Parent Liaison for the Taylor Band, I’m keeping busy. Including working at “Maze Day”, the registration event at Taylor. It’s this morning and tomorrow morning. Kathie is working with me today, and we have other volunteers for tomorrow, when I’ll have to be there anyway for Haley’s registration.
Marilyn – Val – Camping
August 9-12 Val and I went to a completely different kind of camping at Leather Levi Weekend August 9-12. As usual, a life-altering experience.
