Woke up early because I was on a thesis defense this morning. The meeting went pretty well. The good news is the student passed His defense well!

And then met up with the rest of the family around 11

Dennard made a scrumptious breakfast… Massage kale for us and something with bacon for the boys

Max headed off to visit friends so keep dying and I had it down into the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side to climb Mount Hamilton

We got back to town and dropped by GabÉ’s lab for him to do a quick cell culture procedure… When we went back to the house and met up with sam

We grabbed Sean and Fabian and we all walked over to Cubo… A great Cuban place down in Hawthorne

Then Gabe, Sam, ‘Diane and I did a long walk to view the “yarn bombs” that Nana amy does on Alder Street… She needs fabric around these trees as a show of some thing… Not quite sure what but it’s very cool

Put a cool, beautiful, and very interesting city this is… OK time for bed.

nite all? Nite sam
