Another Birthday Weekend

Laila, Loic, Luca, Sophia and Daisy came over last night to help celebrate my birthday, which is today. They brought presents -- the biggest box of cookies I have ever seen and a set of outdoor darts -- what we used to call Jarts when I was young.

we played in the backyard, had pizza from Mr. Pizza Man, and again watched Steve Martin's hilarious reprise of The Pink Panther.

Little Daisy noticed by laundry room and told her Mom, "Grandpa has the smallest garage I have ever seen."

Saturday Night? Birthday Night

Dylan is 22! We had a family birthday party last night for him. What a wonderful young man he is!

Friday Night? Pizza Night...

...at Dad's (AKA Grandpa's) house. Luca and Sophia were excited after spending the entire rainy day as subjects in a scientific experiment at UCSF. They came with Laila around 5 and we soon ordered pizza.

Peter and Claire soon joined us. I introduced the hilarious Pink Panther remake with Steve Martin to the young ones and we all laughed heartily.

Laila took the above photo.

So far, the rain is holding off today. We plan a big (14 person) birthday party at Peter and Claire's tonight. Tomorrow is Dylan's 22nd birthday.

Most Corrupt Presidency Ever?

It's hard to keep up with all the scandals coming out of the Trump administration as they are more numerous that I can ever recall from any other one. The Truitt swamp at the EPA is particularly vile-smelling, given the damage he is doing to our collective future.

As someone who devoted so much of my reporting career trying to warn the public how much danger we are in, I admit to being distraught by all of this. I have six children and six grandchildren, with a 7th on the way.

What kind of world will they inherit?

Tax Time

Spent time today helping file tax information of the three younger kids and their Mom. I have asked for a delay in filing my info.

Big news! 7th grandchild on the way!
