Monterey

We went to Monterey to celebrate my birthday in January. We managed to ask a passerby to take our photo so we could all be in it together. A cute pix, even if Troy does look like he's just escaped from San Quentin. We had great weather and on this particular day the kids explored the tide pools and then ended up in the ocean. Luke is a natural when it comes to getting wet, sandy, & messy. Emma on the other hand, well, she plays the diva. Once her pants were wet, she had to change them. When sand was in her shoes, the shoes had to come off. But after wiping off her sandy toes for her, the shoes needed to go back on. Ok, yes, she is a little high maintainance. It can come as a surprise to me and Troy, since we've had years of boy energy where being wet and dirty are not only the norm, but big pluses!

Experience Change

Note: YouTube says the video is no longer available. What's that all about??
Check out this video clip from Thursday's Democratic Debate on CNN. I think Hillary makes a strong case that she's the candidate with the experience to lead. I've been volunteering for her campaign by making phone calls to absentee voters in California. It's been exhilarating (and exhausting) to be part of something like this. On Friday, Feb 1st, Troy & I were at a Hillary campaign fundraiser at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco. I was impressed with her warmth, her intelligence and her strong commitment to move our country forward. She communicates her plans for our country very clearly and YES she does come across very likeable! Go to hillaryclinton.com to find out what she proposes to do if elected, & how she'll do it.
