Thank You Thank You Thank YOU.

FRIENDS
Okay Jbo is back! One phone call almost one year later… and it aint nothin’ but water under the bridge. Thanks for reaching out & reconnecting my friend. Friends of 20 years can ride out some heavy shit.

Okay we had some visitors this past year. Blossom, eryn, laurie, mocean, marni [hope I didn’t leave anyone out]. Thanks for coming and sharing your love. When we grow some more space, we’d love more visits & more visitors & also some communal meals on a regular basis @ our place

MARRIAGE & FAMILY
Okay we had a tough time in 2010. Truth.
Amanda and me are working hard on keeping our love and marriage together. We ended the year on a positive note by spending the holidays in Chico California together with her family. She and Cosmo flew and Galaxy and me took the train [what a gas]. We had a relaxing family vacation in cali and grew our love a little stronger. We took one day-trek to see calatrava’s bridge in Redding with grannyL. Totally worth the trip! Amazing graceful structure. A few images @ http://sageomatic.posterous.com/

Okay I took ms.A to the naughty nutcracker (burlesque) at the triple door. A fabulous show & a bit of a stretch to call it the nutcracker… and she took me (& the kids) to the nice nutcracker. Both were excellent. Ms.A says it’s family derby time this year. We shall see. Me thinks it’s loud, and adult. Update: went to Bout1 w/ ms.A & we had a ball.

Fred got married. Lucky ZalDog. Lucky Juniper.
