My beautiful son Sam was in attendance at Nathan’s bar mitzvah, and I grabbed this self-snapshot of the two of us using my “long arm of the law” technique. Love that kid…
Max and his new band Retreat Right played in Palo Alto last night. The show was at the local Elks Lodge, and by the time his band went on it was 11:30 PM and they only had a half hour left before the security guy shut them down. But it was a wonderful show and Max is very proud. I put together this little slideshow to illustrate the evening…

Daniel is an old family friend. When he and his family first moved here from Israel, he and my son Sam became fast friends. Sadly, they no longer go to the same school so they don’t see each other all that often, but our families have remained friends. The boys see each other periodically and enjoy catching up. Daniel is an English football (soccer to us Americans) fanatic, and is naturally a big Manchester United fan. So he put on his best “stank eye” (not sure what the British equivalent is for that term) and we made a wonderful photograph today.
