Japanese Whiskey-ing it up at Kokoni.

Look at this handsome birthday boy.  

Amazing food.  And they comp’d all of our drinks (and we weren’t cheap dates).  They have been open for 3 weeks and the chef won Season 9 of Top Chef.

We planted zucchini this year and it is doing well.

Caprese Grilled Cheese

Erica did a networking hike this morning with 3 awesome ladies.  Nice change from the usual networking happy hour.

They are all volunteer.

Girlfriends

Adobe Sunrise

Going with some new colors in the garden this year.

Charge!

We’re going on 28 hours without power. We heard a loud pop yesterday morning so we think a transformer blew.

Charging up at Cori & Bob’s down the street.  

Power’s supposed to be back on at 5pm.  This is the first time we’ve received an ETA, so we’re hopeful.

Current Conditions

Sunday Funday

Trying new things: Goed Zuur - a sour beer and cheese restaurant.  Two of Erica’s favorite things.  

This is a butter flight.  It was awesome.  One was made from A2 Guernsey Milk from Wisconsin.  We were told this is the wagyu of milk.  There was also an English goat milk butter, a French butter, a cave aged butter with a lot of minerality (it tasted like licking a cave wall - in a good way, it was Chris’s favorite), a triple milk butter and a buffalo milk butter.

Meats and cheeses.

Out of Quarantine

And to the Symphony with Ben Folds!  It was very good to leave the house after almost 2 weeks.

Does Wine Kill COVID? 😑

Sun Blockers

We’re missing that big pine that blew down last December already.
