Cafe Society
Sat, 22 May 2004: Took the kid down to Happy Hollow in San Jose last saturday. I hadn't been there in 30 years. It was such a blast!

We got there when it opened (10 A.M.), and I took the kid straight to Danny the Dragon. He loved it, but the big attraction was The Maze, which is just, well, a maze. You just go in and pretend to be lost, or play tag, or pretend to be an archaeologist, whatever floats your boat.

I must admit I'm becoming quite attached to it.

Remember Mom
Sat, 08 May 2004: My mom's birthday is right before Mother's Day, so we were down in Houston a couple of weeks ago to see her.

The one thing I wanted to do was go downtown and see the new train that people keep plowing their cars into.

Sat, 03 Apr 2004: My nephew started preschool this week and came back with all kinds of crazy ideas.

He grabbed a back issue of Cat Fancy out of the magazine rack and decided to have story time with the cat.
