Steve on the way to London



We stopped at Maggione's (sp?) at the Grove in LA, meeting Tom and Sandra. It was a really nice little respite amidst the craziness of packing and restoring computer data. Despite what they all say, I did really TRIP over a nest of wires on the floor flipping the external hard drive with ALL Steve's work from college into oblivion. It was awful, but of course, Lee came to the rescue, stayed up till 3am and got most of the data back. Yikes!!!

Fun Times with Steve before he's GONE!!!! to the UK




Lee and I enjoyed Oktoberfest with him in Lake Arrowhead for a few hours. We had a family dinner on the patio, teasing him about the balmy Southern California weather and greenery. We ate at Maggione's restaurant in LA with his friends Sandra and Tom. He did make it to London just fine, hogging a whole row on the plane to nap. We haven't heard any more yet. We'll keep the blog fans up to date. Keep tuned to this station for further updates on Steve's excellent UK adventure.

Party Time

This is our pic at the beginning of a Beaver Med party we had at our house. It was a great success and we didn't have to pay for it, so that's a big plus. Leonard Corbett catered it, and with his great ideas, it was easy. Lee made a great music collection that just ran without his attention to it...it really made for a wonderful atmosphere. Leonard managed even with the breaker for our oven going out...toaster oven and BBQ to the rescue!!

More pix of BBW (Best Baby in the World)


Finally I got my act together to get these pix onto the blog. This is Elena (sitting with support at less than 5 months, mind you) and then of course, the ever lovely Serena with Elena. Note the binary code T-shirt Serena is wearing. It was a gift from Erich. I forget what it says. I will have more pix soon as I am flying out there October 5. I will get to see Serena lecture!! I doubt I'll be able to take a live pic of that. I think it'd be way over the top into the "proud mom." She has a teaching fellowship this year. We'll see what I can do. Hm...maybe I'll hide a spy camera in a pen a' la James Bond....Q...where are you when I need you????
