Last week, Diane and I flew to California to visit Patrick and GOOGLE Land. Katie flew in from Boston to join us. On Mother’s Day, Patrick and Katie prepared the Brunch in Patrick’s new San Jose apartment: delicious omelets and yummy French toast (check out the photo). The next day, we had a tour of GOOGLE Land, which is a lot like a college campus…only with free food! Katie rode one of the GOOGLE bikes (which are everywhere) and Diane and checked out the GOOGLE donut (check out the photos). When Patrick finished his work for the day, we drove to Livermore in heavy traffic to visit Art Scott and Bruce Taylor. A lot of fun ensued.
Katie wanted to see an “organized” book collection (in contrast to my chaotic methods). Art Scott showed Diane, Patrick, and Katie how books, CDs, and vinyl should be organized and displayed. Meanwhile, Bruce and I got caught up on what Steve Stilwell (and others) were up to. Then we drove to the Wente Vineyards for dinner and more great conversation (and great wine!). Sadly, no one thought to take any photos!
