3-11-08 - Daya Goldschlag sent a story she'd not had time to tell at the Early Tassajara Alumni Reunion final get-together at Greens on January 26th. It's about how our son Kelly, now 34, almost died not long after he was born and how he lived because we lived at Green Gulch. I answered her with what I remembered and she answered back. Here's the story again - Kelly Lives!. Filed in Family. See Daya's cuke interview and photos.

4-19-07 - Happy birthday Clay - sweet 16.

3-25-07 - I was fixing a link here yesterday on the 3-22-07 What's New entry and had to stop and couldn't get back to it till this morning because Clay got all scuffed up and broke his arm in a skateboarding spill and I had to zip off to the emergency roam of Kaiser in Santa Rosa and hang with him and his mom till he was cleaned up, splinted, and released. The craziest part, according to him, was when the doc snapped back in place the radius totally broken just above the wrist. (The radius is the larger of the two bones running from elbow to wrist.) He opted for minimum sedation to have minimum risk of complications. Kudos to the wonderful nurses, technicians, and docs. Clay's fine now, sitting with an icepack on his elevated arm, watching Casino Royal. Elin took digital photos. Hope to have here soon. - DC
