Thanks to cancer, my dad spent his Father’s Day with all five of his children. There’s always a silver lining…. (Faces are blurred because we were doing goofy expressions but they’re just flat out disturbing)

A beautiful night at the ballpark. Posey’s grand slam made it a memorable one.

Hemingway rejects the gun show.

Jurassic World 3D with Brittany. Better than I thought. More of a ride than a movie.

Happy for Sonia and a couple of jag-offs from the South Side.

Whole hog BBQ at a friend’s BDay party. The diet is being accosted from all angles.

One of the stunning photos my Dad and Georgeanne brought back with them from their recent trip to the Serengeti. Even after two years of building up their expectations, Singita exceeded them.

Crazy that I had to custom make this shirt and that it wasn’t readily available. I wear this in honor of my oldest sister who will now wage her third war against cancer. Cancer is a vile disease that requires an equally vile and obscene counter attack, hence the shirt. But, I have no doubt that my sister will make it a reality. The fight will be long and taxing, but she will prevail. SFC.

This was one of my favorite naps in the Serengeti. And one of my favorite quotes. The reminders come often. Sometimes they are beautiful, sometimes they are brutal. But either way, they remind me that time is our greatest currency and we need to keep pushing to make every second count.

Always a great dinner at Jaleo.

 Hope to be apart of horse racing history today. Team American Pharoah.  

A third Louboutin store opening in Vegas. Trouble.

A bartender in Napa turned us onto this Washington wine. Goes great with oysters.

I finally had this framed. A gift from friends, it’s a Venetian 15th century replica of a world map.

Our cutting tables are now fully operational. Hoping the investment pays off.

This is what happens when I go away for awhile.

Napa never disappoints. Back to work.

Began with Snoop. Ended with the Gypsy Kings. An eclectic day of music.

No trip to Napa is complete without a burger from Gotts Roadside.

 
Breakfast at the top of Auberge du Sole.

Lots of great bands today, but Capital Cities stole the show.

A relaxing morning in the garden. Gearing up for day two of Bottlerock.

   
#33 Lounge by 5 hotel pools.

After a bike ride and breakfast, we’ll spend a few hours here at the pool at our hotel, Hotel Yountville.

 
Pizza at Red Wood in Yountville. 

#68: Ride a bike in another city.

Nothing better than a champaign bike tour in Yountville.

Napa, we have arrived. Oysters and Escargot at Bouchon in Yountville.

 
Leaving socked in Los Angeles for the socked in Bay Area.

 
#Become TSA rechecked and Global entry approved

Got the global part out of the way.

Update: Global automatically qualifies us for TSA pre-check.
 

#53: Read 10 Books

What if everyone on earth aimed a laser pointer at the moon at the same time? What if you could drain all the water from the oceans? What if all the lightning in the world struck the same place? What if I didn’t waste my time reading this book.

There was plenty of family, food and drink, but mostly corn hole.

#38: See 10 New Movies in the Theater

Saw Mad Max with Brit and was left disappointed. Maybe I’m old, or maybe I just crave a story.

#80: Garage Sale

Lots of pickers in Burbank. Broke a thousand. All time record.

#11. A Better Closet

Finally….

#96: Personal Stationary

A late birthday surprise. Sonia had the perfect stationary made to help me become more of a gentleman.

Celebrating the graduation of Rosie’s boyfriend. 

 
Not the most fun thing to do on a Saturday, but it had to be done. 

#40 Take a Class.

Took the first class of many. Going to be the whitest guy in the room and salsa with my Latina wife.

My sister, Michelle, reminded me of the time Devin thought he was going to die when he was nine.

#76: Go to Disneyland

My niece and nephew helped me cross off “The Happiest Place on Earth”.

  Slinging crab legs and peeling shrimp. I have a feeling these smells will be lingering.

Watched the Clips rout the Rockets with my Dad.

1. Hemingway objects to the cutting of his paw hair.
