Thanks one & all. Had a nice day, too. Did some necessary gardening & housekeeping in the a.m., then fielded a call from Gaz. After a nice chat with him I piled the wife & kids in the car & hit the San Mateo coast for some tide-pooling & sand-castle-building. Took the scenic route home up Pescadero Road to Skyline Drive & down Alpine Road into Palo Alto, which was pretty cool until Adrian & Gabriel each got carsick (sorry if TMI). Then had dinner at Elephant Bar & returned to Castro Valley. Had another 4 phone messages of b-day wishes which is certainly a new record.
LBNL, had an email from KFOG (signed by Dave) with an attached mpeg of the whole crew singing "Happy Birthday Dear Foghead". Must be auto-generated, but still a nice touch. We'll see what happens in the morning vis a vis my request.
