Chris and Marilyn and I are about to walk up to El Cerrito for breakfast. This morning I got up at 4 AM and drove Jamie, Chelsea, Audrey, and Jack to the San Jose airport to start their journey to Sandbridge. I was back at home by 6 AM and so was able to go back to bed for a couple of hours before Chris and Marilyn woke up.

Yesterday afternoon we had dinner at Julian and Vanessa's with the kids. As usual They fixed a feast that included ribs and steak on the grill. The kids were great and Chris and Marilyn were happy to see Beech again and Annie for the first time. When we got back to my condo we watched a DVD of the movie Four Days in September. It was one they picked out of my collection. It is a Brazilian movie that is based on a true story about a group of students who join a terrorist band to oppose the military coup that took over their government in 1969. It had been a few years since I first saw it and I liked it even better this time. I had forgotten a lot of it and it was more interesting this time in the light of the behavior of the Bush administration after 9/11. I give it four stars.
