Colin’s Soccer Practice
Colin really enjoys his soccer practices. He is quite fast and starting to figure out how to position himself.

Daniel and Colin had their violin recital yesterday in Yountville. Teacher Beth Vye really does a great job with the kids. The concert had about 25 performances! Daniel played in 4 pieces (including a solo) and Colin played in 3. Very proud of the boys. Click on the more link to see a video of their performances.

Laura’s brother Barry caught this wonderful 20lb Salmon just outside the San Francisco Bay on Friday, and we had a big salmon barbecue in the back yard with the Cassianis, the Briskoviches, and the Truchards.
I made the salmon two ways… filets (front half of the fish) on cedar planks with mustard and white wine sauce, and (back half of the fish) poached in foil with white wine, lemon wedges, red onion, garlic, dill, rosemary, and thyme, served with a dill-sour cream sauce.
It was a perfect evening with friends around the fire pit.
Spent two days in Houston with the family. Visited the Houston Space Center, which was really cool.

Maureen picked a beautiful setting for her 10-year anniversary ‘refresh’ of her Engagement ring. I have to say, it looks stunning, and a whole lot better than the one I picked out 11 years ago.
We had a great evening celebrating Luc and Kathy’s wedding anniversary in Laguna Beach with Ron and Marie-Teresa. Drinks at the Montage and then dinner at Las Brisas.
I have slowly but surely been moving my life from the PC to the Mac. Here is a list of useful things:
Thought I would capture these here for future reference.

The boys had their violin recital today, and did a fabulous job. Unfortunately, Daniel’s violin was completely out of tune for the first piece, but Beth Vye (his teacher) fixed it for his second piece. You can watch their whole performance (along with their friend Giada) here, or you can watch the short clip below for just the boys’ performance. Nice job, Colin and Daniel!
