Merry Christmas to Everyone...

The clock has just struck twelve and not a creature is stirring, except Kathlene and myself. As I sit in bed writing this post, I am watching Kathlene pack for her trip with Karla to Kauai. They will be traveling to Hawaii on Christmas day. Yes, they will be braving the busy airports in order to fly to paradise. And for those who are traveling Good Luck! Buena Suerte!

Kathlene and I wish everyone a safe and Very Merry Christmas.

Every year…

It’s seems like the Christmas spirit arrives a little later in the month of December every year. Last night Kathlene and I finally went Christmas shopping together. We met in San Francisco at the Apple store and made our rounds from there.

We headed to my Mom (Penny) and Dads (Bill) favorite restaurant. The food court at the Westfield Mall in San Francisco on Market St. I know you think that I must be crazy when I am talking mall food. However, if you have never been to this food court, then it’s a must go. Think mall food on super steroids. For example there is a Buckhorn Grill, Asqew Grill, Coriander Gourmet Thai, Andale Mexican Restaurant and many more. On this night we had gourmet Thai.

The mall is on Market St. just a few blocks from Union Square. This particular mall is a zoo to begin with. Now imagine what it would be like the week before Christmas. I suspect with the crowds and the lights and the crowds that some people forget why they are there, I did.

Kathlene and I finished our tour of Union Square with a photo session in the Square itself. We stopped to take in the lights and all the hustle and bustle of a busy winter night.
