Here’s the cute glasses case that one of my daughters knit for me years ago. Glasses are alive, they have legs so they can run and hide. [New info: It was Georgia who knit it, it was the first thing she ever knit, she made at “Big Three Days” at Seven Hills School in Lynchburg, Virginia, in the 7th grade.]

Yesterday we went to a party to celebrate Rudy and Penny’s engagement at this great people’s park called the “Albany Bulb”.

This is a spot in the SF Bay behind the Golden Gate Fields racetrack. It was once a dump, but now hipsters assemble art there, people walk dogs, and wild vegetation rules.

A bunch of Rudy and Penny’s colorful friends were there; we carried in loads of food and beer.

August and Laird have banana-shaped cell-phone holders that Laird invented.

And I think Rose said she’s a belly-dancer.

I gave Penny a plastic jellyfish that bounces on a string.

The dogs were retrieving sticks from the water. I love how the one on shore is being a spectator.

Mighty Slug was there, and I got a great little 1 Meg MPEG movie of him shaking. Click here to view movie.

I’ve always been fascinated with Diane Arbus’s pictures, of how the subjects are always kind of looking askance at Diane as she takes the picture. I managed to get a photo somewhat in this style of Shannon and her tattoo; I put it in black and white to enhance the Arbus look.

It was a great party. Yay Rudy and Penny.
