Introducing…

Mr. Fizzle

…Mr. Fizzle Ma Nizzle.  He’s a gangsta fish from the ‘hood.  We passed by a fishie store on Saturday and it triggered an old itch.  We can’t seem to go very long without a swimmer in the house.  So, before I could blink an eye, we were at Petco next to the un-Safeway buying a Delta Tail Betta Fish and a 3-gallon tank.  Sweeeet…

My Doctor, Dr. Mai

happy hour

Last night we had a going-away Happy Hour for our dearest Dr. Mai at Marc 49.  She’s leaving us for a 3-year residency at the VA Hospital in Westwood to become a doctor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.  She’s not only a great doc but has been so much fun to have as our pediatrician and even patched up my finger

Dr. Mai

I was a dummy and sliced my middle finger on a knife after our Fun Friday outing to McDonald’s with the kids.  Anyway, we’ll certainly miss her…especially during next year’s w/c bball tourney.

try again next time

I received my first jury summons a few weeks ago and this week was my week to report.  SF County has a pretty convenient website system so it was pretty painless.  Each afternoon I went online to find out whether or not it would be my turn.  I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad thing but I was never called in all week.  I was kind of looking forward to having a day at the courthouse surfing the internet on their free WiFi and experiencing a taste of the justice system but I wasn’t given the opportunity just yet.  Oh well…perhaps my turn will come again next year.  Until then, my patients will continue to get better since I didn’t have to miss any work this week.

Sunday Smokey Supper

I wanna play!

Ryan was in the mood for BBQ on Saturday so he went to Home Depot and bought himself a smoker.  On Sunday, we had a variety of smoked meats including ribs, short ribs, country ribs, and even a bloomin’ onion.

Jack also had the chance to show off his new skills.  At 18 months, he’s walking really well now, saying lots of words, labeling photos of people (including Auntie Beak), and even driving…his little red car.  🙂 What a big boy.

Deja Vu

Since I’m in class all this weekend, I’m finally getting the chance to organize and upload photos from last weekend.

Cheers!

Here are photos from Bang’s “I Got a Job!” Celebration last Friday.

Merlot

Here are photos from our quick trip up to Napa last Saturday.

Photos from NYC

Well, after going through the hundreds of photos that I took on our 5-day NYC trip, I finally got them post-processed and uploaded for your viewing pleasure.  As expected, I had a great time there hanging out with Jason and Jia and exploring the city.  Here are some of my favorites:

NYC Public Library

This is the inside of the New York City Library.  It’s very museum-like inside with marble and archways everywhere you look.

Central Park

This is Central Park and Upper West Side from the Top of Rockefeller Center.  I love the contrast of trees and buildings.

Trees Over Bryant Park

These are the trees over Bryant Park where Fashion Week occurs every year.

Brooklyn Bridge

I’ve always wanted to walk the Brooklyn Bridge and it didn’t disappoint.

Here are the rest of the photos. I ended up uploading over 200 so it might take a while to get through them all.  Enjoy!
