I started the day with a wonderful Verve coffee — light, floral, just awesome. Jen and Jeri also found it spot-on. On our walk with Scottie, he apparently stepped on a bee. We removed what was thought to be the stinger, but he continued hopping about, hiding, panting, and being miserable. We checked a few times to ensure we didn't miss something and found no other cause for concern. We simply assumed he would be ok, and we went to get Jeri. We had breakfast at Los Gatos Cafe. They shared a southwestern omelet, I had my 'usual,' and a Cinnamon roll made an appearance. It was all well received. Then we returned to check in on Scottie and make some decisions on the plans for the day. Instead of cooking, we decided to order food for dinner with my mom, Ryan and Lindsey. That panned out well. We got an order into Buca De Beppo, then took off for Boulder Creek to hit "Swag" and other antique shops before doing some wine tasting. SWAG has proven in the past to be a good resource from the occasional vinyl I've wanted to add to my small collection of significant influences and turning points throughout the years. My earliest vivid recollection of any attachment to music resides in visits to Paula's home (Jeri's mother). There were two records I sought out and played in one of their rooms, perhaps Janette or Jennifers. One being "Everything's Alright" on the Jesus Christ Superstar album, the other being "Saturday In The Park" on Chicago V. I would lie on my side or stomach alongside the square recorder player on the ground and just put the needle down and listen, repeatedly. It's amongst my most potent memories, and I feel like it was a starting point for a journey of musical immersion that has never stopped and frequently returned to its roots. So, imagine my surprise and excitement to find that double LP with complete original Libretto and booklets today, while with Jeri, for $3. I bought it, of course, along with a far better version of "Sound Magazine" (one of the 1st two LPs I bought in my lifetime), Twin Sons of Different Mothers, Captain Fantastic, Let's Get Small, and finally, even though it cost all of $15… Dark Side of the Moon. Finding all of these today was a delight. Finding Jesus Christ Superstar, with its history and Jeri right there with me…. in itself, was almost enough to make me believe. After a good stretch of time in Boulder Creek, we moved on to wine taste at Byington, a winery in the foothills above Los Gatos. The grounds were beautiful, and the wines were very good. I would not say they were the best I have ever had, but they were reasonable, and their wine club was so enticing we signed up and utilized it right away. I liked their Pinot Noir (estate grown) and Cabernet. It's a place that we know we can and will easily revisit with friends throughout the summer. While tasting, a guy approached, saying, "I know this guy," and referenced Apple. It was Jim Jepson, a colleague from my days in Cheryl's organization. I was floored and very happy to see him. He was, as I told him, one of those people that always stood out as being so nice, approachable, positive and even keeled. It was nice to be recognized and not fail to recall who recognized me, that happens more often than not because my anxiety about failing to remember them tends to beat me to the recognition. Maybe the wine slowed the anxiety down. We left just in time to pick up our dinner before heading to Matson and finding Lindsey, my mom and Ryan all there and waiting. Tommy took off (unnecessarily, but he just left without saying a word), and we enjoyed a nice meal, wine, stories and laughter. They took off, and Jen and I cleaned up and made fresh dog food.`
