My son Kyle & I in California last week. Monterey Bay Aquarium is huge, includes a glass bottomed tank. From San Francisco we sailed around Alcatraz, saw a Fin Whale, & the sea lions on Pier 37. We went for San Francisco Opera: soprano Nina Stemme is fabulous, worth the trip!

Busy work week for Moose: we re-started meetings after the holidays with several groups. Also the start of sessions at Eastwood's Paine Branch Library, where we will be meeting with pre-Ks from Honey Tree Daycare & Blessed Sacrament School.

@PhotogMLanders surely your mom & dad are unhappy :)

[Laura Hand @lhandsyr]

Some early presents for 3- and 4-year olds Moose & I visit at Salvation Army Daycare. The children got to pick their hats--made by a friend-- & we also gave them stickers, before singing carols and reading 'A Snowy Day'
