Peninsula Temple Beth El held its annual Purim Carnival today. Food, fun, games and friends. The children particularly liked the games where they collected points to get gifts at the end.
This is still my favorite angle to photograph this bridge. Today was a particularly crisp and clear with light winds.
I took time out on Thursday to explore Lands End and the ruins of Sutro Baths in San Francisco. You can walk along the foundation and watch the ocean from ground level. The walk around the Coastal Trail leads North East towards the Golden Gate Bridge. The parking lot has recently been expanded making it very easy to acces this beautiful San Francisco landmark.

One of the hits of 2010 Macworld was a 30 minute presentation by Andy Ihnatko writes about technology for the Chicago Sun Times. He wrote the best book on the Iphone by far and is a frequent participant on Macbreak Weekly.
Andy went one full year without any printed media !!. He says the hardest part was that 20 minutes when the plane door closes and you can’t turn on any electronic devices. It is then that he pulls out People Magazine and reads about some young starlet and her 8 children.
Hopefully someone will publish a video of this talk. It is a classic. Meanwhile here are a few clips I took with my Flipvideo UltraHD while sitting in the audience.
Thanks Andy ! It was the best of Macworld for me.
Congratulations Lilah & James !! We look forward to your wedding this spring.

Hard to believe Laurie turned 65 yesterday.
Her children, Jodi, Marni, and Peter ( aka “Willing Helpers” ) hosted a party in her honor.
A great time for friends and family to get together. Marni, husband Bryan and son Nathan flew in from Maryland to join in the celebration.
Congratulations Laurie and Family. You are truly blessed
