old friends

Today i attended a Likha coco end of summer party over in Martinez. It was hosted by a good longtime friend of mine that I haven't seen in about 8 years or so. It was good to see her and her family and it was nice to catch up a bit on what has been going on. The Laxa's were also there and it was good to see the boys since I haven't seen them since before I left for Brazil.

Afterwards I headed out to Fry's to buy another external hard drive. It's a good thing I did cause they had a good sale for a 160gb hard drive that would cost $119.00 after all the rebates are done.

Last friday we had rondalla rehearsal again. It felt good, but then we were playing a lot in Brazil so the ones that went were conditioned to play a lot of songs and not get any finger cramps. Overall it was good. Randy and Beverly even tried duplicating the chocolate strawberry pizza that we had tried over in Nova Prata. It turned out pretty good, close to the real thing, if we can only match the dough that was used for the pizza.
