First ride of the year, a nice gentle 10 miles around the base of the hills. Didn’t really expect that much rain though.
Dinner @ California Cafe, Los Gatos
A quiet NYE this year. After all the excitement of moving, Christmas and preparing the old place we decided to have a nice dinner @ California Cafe, Los Gatos then come home and toast in the new year in our new home.
Great fun! Great year! Bring on 2010

when was the last time you used a public phone? I can’t remember and don’t think I would know how to use these fancy credit card phones

We took a short break from work before embarking on our house move. Four days in Maui as just what we needed. This was the first time I’d been to Hawaii.
Nikki and I at the Marriott
What I didn’t know was that the Hawaiian state flag has the Union Flag in the corner. Apparently this is due to some assistance from Great Britain to restore order to the islands a few hundred years back.
