I didn't know they had a hot rod ...Dear Carl, <br /><br />I didn't know they had a hot rod show in my childhood town. Until this post, I had no idea your brother had a classic Studebaker. <br /><br />I'm glad you had a rich time of fellowship, intimacy and closeness with all those who went with you to Asilomar. It must have been a great change from the demands of your work. <br /><br /> Love is patient and love is kind. You demonstrated love with your forbearance, while taking care of dishes. Kudos to you!!Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963540433054608632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-54524747706772132652013-07-23T21:26:54.656-07:002013-07-23T21:26:54.656-07:00Loredana,

It would be fantastic, having you in the audience---as one of my Balcony People---when speaking. Maybe, someday that will happen. <br /><br />I appreciate your encouragement. I'm wishing this year will be a great one for you, too!Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963540433054608632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-7236531484295220902013-07-16T23:07:54.968-07:002013-07-16T23:07:54.968-07:00Dear Innkeeper,
A most lovely post you penned ton...Dear Innkeeper,<br /><br />A most lovely post you penned tonight indeed! Your colorful boyhood memories and waxing nostalgic is moving for us all! We are there with you Pablo in the joy of these moments. I am glad you could have this experience and share it in real-time with a friend.<br /><br />My older brother Ron and I attended a classic and hot rod car show in Niles last summer and had a ball. Of special interest are always the 50's and 60's Studebaker's because my Dad used to be the Service Manager at a dealer in San Leandro! My brother is a Stude nut and owns a vintage 50's wagon; completely restored!<br /><br />My Gratitudes for this Tuesday evening are;<br /><br />1. That my wife and i could have a marvelous, second year in a row, anniversary weekend get-away to Asilomar Conference Center-State Park in Pacific Grove, on the Monterrey Penninsula. We took our bikes this time, cycled along the ocean, hiked the Point Lobos trail, with photogenic scenes at every turn, and shared meals (one a fabulous vegetarian one), games and fellowship with five other fellow anniversary couples.<br /><br />2. That I could host a serene and touching lunch at my client Pacific Catch in SF, by Golden Gate Park, with our #3 son, Vincent today. That I could catch up on his life, see how distance has given him valuable perspective and maturity, and enjoy his adult company. We shall do this more often!<br /><br />3. That I could bite my tongue and empty the dishwasher, while being subjected to "Smokey & the Bandit" (Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields - back when she looked like a teenager!)on the tube. My wife loves to watch silly, mindless old movies while doing her interior design work at the dining room table. It was on me to "live and let live," mind my own business, and let it go. After all, I should celebrate whatever makes her happy! This and America's Funniest Home Video's, Golden Girls, and romantic drama's on the Hallmark Channel! Yikes!!!Carl Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168412345145927553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-40126401618938876332013-07-16T05:32:40.179-07:002013-07-16T05:32:40.179-07:00I would love to see you speak sometime!!
