Yesterday morning Liz and I had breakfast at El Cerrito. Vanessa joined us after we finished, so we went to Starbucks where Vanessa had a coffee. Jason eventually joined us and had a coffee too. Liz and Jason then left to pick up Josh and go on to pick up Ethan and Bill at SFO.
I am headed up for Heidi's pies now. I will fill in more tomorrow about the DVD I watched most of last night.
