This must mean rain!
The OBYoga Water Bottle on vacation again (must be nice …). Here, relaxing at Joshua Tree courtesy of my student, Merle who is on an artist retreat.
“Would you look at those crab legs!!!”
Antonino Tarantino says hi to Robb, Akuch and family.
Robb, Akuch & family reciprocate from the floor in their cozy apartment.
Chinese Fire Drill!! (Is that politically incorrect?)
Hey, the light’s not going to get any greener!! hahaha. I guess you had to be there …
In this YouTube video published September 10, 2014, young British Muslims at Active Change Foundation show their solidarity against ISIS and its actions.

The day started off with Pappa and Maya making scrambled eggs as Bear-Z watches on.
Yummmmm …
Then Sparty arrived.
And Hogan had breakfast.
Field trip and coconut water!
The park at Liberty Station.
Maya and Pappa take a little break.
On the bouncy thingie.
Later while watching the Chargers get pummeled by the Raiders, Akuch sent me these photos. How fun!
Alo and this frog are pretty tight. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen them together.
Hey, guys … Did you know there’s a spider in that tree? Um, yeah, it’s right above your heads, and watch out for that web!
A big hurdle – we found out yesterday Bill was approved for MTS transportation services! Next step is figuring out how to implement the service. No hurdle is too high for this team!

Thursday – Two of the newest batiked OBYoga t-shirts I got in India at work on the mat (Merle & Kim).
Saturday – Three headstand modifications. L-R: using the headstand stool (soft block to keep feet active and from moving around), upside down through the ropes, & using a bench for sacrum support and lifted sternum (Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana in Sirsasana).
This afternoon we’re heading to Cineplex in Del Mar to watch The Martian in 3-D with Evan and Jill. Evan and I both read the book a while back and it was really good. Let’s hope for everyone’s sake I’m able to keep the coughing to a minimum :-/
Above – the OBYoga Water Bottle found its way to Copenhagen! Yes, it’s true. My good friend, former boss, current estate plan attorney and Billi Trust advisor Ralph Hughes sent me this photo.
Or is it Bate’s Nut Farm? I just can’t seem to remember …
Ron & Jen took the kids yesterday …
Pony rides!
Stunt rider …
The slide!
Also yesterday, Kando makes friends at OctoberFest – courtesy of Akuch.
When we were at the pumpkin patch in Martinez last month, Alo and I took the slide. Here are two videos Bruce took of the same ride. The first one we’re climbing the stairs (you can hear Alo giggling along the way) & the second we slide down for the first time. I was a little worried about my back coming down but it was really a gentle drop.
Me – I slept last night! Finally! I made it into the doctor again Friday and found my “peak flow” was down to 210. Peak flow is the velocity of air on a hard exhalation. 210 is in my dangerous zone (acute asthma) so I guess it’s a good thing I was at the doctor. The acute asthma combined with an upper respiratory infection makes it really difficult to breath and to clear out any congestion in the chest. The doctor said he’s seeing a lot of asthmatics due to what he believes El Nino. Anyway, he prescribed prednisone (a steroid) in a heavy dose, tapering down over ten days. After two days of taking the heavy dose of prednisone, I finally got a good night’s sleep. Finally beginning to feel better, and it’s about time!
Above – Kando & Amma during a rare occasion of Kando being awake. He is such a good baby! Very happy & content.
Below – more photos from the Martinez marina. Kando was sleeping in the stroller.
This lady caught this big striped bass.
Alo kept his distance.
At the Holiday Inn sports pub before our departure. Selfie with Alo. Note the saved up food in Alo’s cheek. I think he was a chipmunk in a former life …
Below – photos of Alo at the pumpkin patch last Monday.
After the pumpkin patch we drove to the marina. I had no idea the bay came so far inland and was so close to where Robb & Akuch live. It’s beautiful there.
I have more photos, & I’m sorry to be so late in posting these. I’ve been sick with yet another upper respiratory infection, winding up in the emergency room Wednesday. I’m still coughing quite a bit but feel I’m on the road to recovery. Today will be a day of rest for me.
