The other side of the valley

This morning, I ran across the valley and decided to head over on a trail I hadn't gone down before. I discovered that the loop wasn't as long as I had thought, and there were some nice views and trails. I took a couple of pictures on the way:

Pictures from this morning's run up the hill

It was a beautiful morning, the full moon was out in force and the weather was perfect. I tried to get the moon over the hill in the first picture, but my camera just wasn't quite up to it. By the time I got to the top of the ridge, the moon had escaped completely, so I didn't get a second chance. I did see two calves, but I didn't think about a picture until I had passed them, so the pictures are kinda far away. But the run was great, and I totally understand now why trail runners love minimal shoes... They're absolutely perfect for trail running.

BTW, the relevant dailymile post is here.

Hello from the top of the ridge

Lots of low clods (can't even see Mount Diablo), but really nice temperature for a run.

More fun with hidden buttons

Not the best pictures, but the elevator was beeping at me loudly. Anyways, I am amused.

Welcome to Summer

It's hot, yo.

Ice cream

We're finally using our extra fancy ice cream maker attachment for the KitchenAid. We'll see how it comes out.

The suburban turkey

As seen on my walk to BART. Don't ask me where they came from, I wasn't the only amazed bystander.

What happens to the BART train if I push the red button?

Apparently the lock doesn't quite work. I hope the buttons don't actually work when it's not the front car.

Amir: 1, bowl of food: nil

And this is why I should always put the tray on his high chair: in his exuberance, he kicked the bowl right out of my hands.

Full load

Since I posted a picture of Amir, I figured I'd post one of Emma that I took a few days ago. She was helping clean up the toys at her Uncle's house.
