Ewan. Half boy. Half fish.

We were hosts to a garage sale over the weekend. Brenda, a high school girl here in SR, lost her mom to breast cancer. So she’s been busy raising money to battle the disease. The sale was a huge success. She raised close to $800. The buyers were swarming from the wee hours of the morn. My mom gets the trophy for most aggressive sales person. And Ewan gets the most aggressive rookie sales person.

And of course the garage sale tables are a photo enthusiasts dream. Theres something to be said for the collection(s) of oddities & discarded items of our lives. One man’s trash is another man’s canvas.

I broke 1000 miles on my bike! As most two wheeled expeditions have consisted of 20 mile jaunts I’m rather pleased with the accomplishment. I’ve been riding to work and/or at lunch and occasionally on the weekends. The challenge with getting longer rides in is the time it takes. But with gas prices going through the roof I’m happy to be riding as much as possible.

Ewan and his good bud Zoran had their first go at the skate park. And not to sound too “skater” but they really charged it. I can’t believe how confident they were to just jump in and go. Despite all the kids on boards (and bikes) and the fact that they can’t really skate on their own they did great. I’m looking forward to getting him out there more.

We took a Saturday trip down to the Aquarium of the Bay via the Ferry. Walking from Pier 1 to 39 (with a kid on your back) was a bit laborious. But who can beat good eats, people watching and a beautiful day in the city?
