I went over to my friends house and we pruned their Raspberry bushes. It was a beautiful day out, and with all the help it only took a short bit to complete. Now, I’m just looking forward to when we can pick them.

My Aunt Karen finished the Boston Marathon this past weekend. Her time was 4:12:29. She was very happy that she finished. I was glad to be part of her support team, and cheer her along the way. Then help her walk back, and spend lots of time. I really enjoyed my Aunts trip up here. I got to spend a bunch of time with them, and it was very wonderful.

My Aunt Sam and Karen have come up to run the Boston Marathon. It is wonderful to have them here. You can see a bunch from their visit. I’ve enjoyed getting to see them, and eat lots and lots of food with them.

It is my birthday soon (April 11th for those of you out there). But, I had one celebration with friends on Saturday. People came over to hang out, eat some food, chat a bunch, play some games. We had a great time. Thanks everyone for coming!

I took a great hike from Tantek’s house in the Haight, to the Exploratorium. It was a great hike, and you can see all the pictures

I’m out in California now, visiting all my friends on the west coast. When I arrived, it was wonderful weather and Steve and Aytek are hosting me. We got to take a walk outside to a park nearby, and took Devron for playtime. He loved riding on the little horse.

California will be great for me, and will be a time to remember who I am, how great life is, and to heal and recover.

My friend Elsa and I are making dance music. You can hear some of it at my account on myspace.

We are enjoying the collaboration and getting to create something completely new!

I removed a book shelf that I had in my room. It used to be in that wide open space to the left of the little table there. With my friend Joanne, I sorted through the books that were there. Put the ones that I really wanted to use/read in my standup shelf. And, then got rid of books, and put the others into storage, or downstairs.

This has really freed up so much space and gives a sense of openess. It also reduces the clutter, and I now have a section where you can easily see the wall.

I love flowers. They remind me that there is so much beauty in the world. Flowers are one thing I get for myself when I’m feeling blue.

One of my favorite pictures of my Bumpa and me. He is so wonderful and cheerful. i love when I get to just hang out with him. Just sitting next to him is a pleasure.
