1985 Flashback

I took Marco to Sutter's Fort recently and it felt like 1985 again. I love Sacramento's midtown, yes, even the homeless people. Here are some shots of Marco's incredible climbing skills.

I haven't captured his ability to climb onto our coffee table, our dresser, the kitchen counter and, most impressive, the top part of the fridge as he holds with his hands and literally scales the fridge with his feet. I stay pretty busy running at him and screaming "Noooooooooooooooooo!"
On the way back to the Cleaners, we hydrated. (How "heather" is this pic?)

Can you feel the sizzle?

Check out Poseidon's Galley for the 2-minute sizzle!!!

You probably didn't understand what I just said because of my industry lingo, but basically, the short promo "pitch" piece for my parent's cooking reality show is up on their blog. And it's hot hot hot. I love it! But don't take my word for it, you try it.

Summer Breeze

And boy, it breeeeeezes by... fast! We've officially said goodbye to Summer. We switched from Corona to Ale, we had a fire and even kicked on the heater a little.

I called it a wrap like this for little Leo's 21st birthday. Yes, 21. Yes, party bus. Yes, Grandpa Graf's bull belt buckle.
Incidentally, how much do you have to weigh and how tall do you have to be to stop being called "little Leo?"

Marco spent the time at Grammy's. The next day (with a 32-year old headache) we visited the Sacramento Zoo with Grammy and Granny. It's a small zoo, but really cute and well kept and easily walkable by Marco.

I thought Marco might be a little young for it, but he loved it! He loved loved the monkeys, the ostriches and the tiger (but not too close). "More monkeys Dammy!" and "The ostich coming to Mano! The ostich coming to meeee!" and "No touch big cat on rock." Smart kid.

Plus, they have corn dog and "dip it" (ketchup) and isn't that what it's really about? Granny had her first corn dog with Marco. I was appalled. Eighty (plus!) years is a long time to live without a corn dog.

Here's the proof:Goodbye Summer. You'll be missed.
