Arroyo Seco River Hike, Wade, Slosh, Slide, & Swim!

07 August 2004

An incredible river hike at Arroyo Seco! Laura invited me, Ruben, and Rob to join her group of hike-happy friends--Brandon, Robinson, Jeff, Serena, Renita, Jennifer, Steve, Henry, and oh, I can't remember everyone's names. Anyway, thank goodness Laura invited us ... it was a great time!

The famous Halloween costume from 2002! Eeeek! Did I scare ya? 

Halloween in the Castro, 2002. Swung by there after work and ran into my old friend Tony!

Here's the wedding party! My dear friend Jenn found the man of her dreams, Skip! He's a baker who turned financial, talk about the best of both worlds! Robbie is dashing as ever in his suit and Robin is quite lovely with her cala lily corsage. Ah yes, if I get any more pics like this, let's rename this blog Lifestyles of the Richly Happy and Not Too Famous ... this edition filmed in New Jersey!

Right in front of the Hello Deli next to CBS Studios, my one and only historic picture with Bill Clinton! Boy oh boy, this is one for the grandkids. Just prior to the photo, I shook the President's hand and launched a long-winded sentence about how we missed his eloquence and diplomacy in the White House. But he just looked at me irritably, as if he wanted me to leave, NOW. Oh well. Despite the Secret Service's insistence that we clear the sidewalk, I kept close enough for Srikanth to snap this incredibly ridiculous looking shot. Srikanth and I were waiting in line, trying to get tickets for the Late Show with David Letterman. We didn't score tickets, but the presidential encounter turned out to be no coincidence ... Clinton was one of the guests on the show that night! September 2002

Here I am with Calvin--chillin' at a friend's b-day party, ready to head out for salsa at Cafe Cocomo, spring 2002.

Happy New Year, Everybody!

Hey! We just about made it!

OK, just for one sec ... try to look NORMAL! 

Being silly with Calvin 

One big fuzzy group! 

It's the night of the Chinese New Year parade, and everybody's pretty happy to be celebrating at Enrico's! 

Ahhh yes, the night begins!

Here's a smile that says, I just turned 25, just moved halfway across the country, just go my first job ... a dream job, it seems, and I'm about to get engaged! I've got the whole world ahead of me. WOW. (December 1999)
