Last weekend I showed Seven how to play Peggle on the Xbox 360. He’s always loved watching me play it (lots of pretty colors, flashing lights, and fun sounds), and I figured he’s old enough to handle the two buttons the game uses. He picked it up really quickly and played quietly for almost an hour! I didn’t get to play videogames until I was 12 and saved up my allowance for a Game Boy, so Seven’s a lucky kid. I’m really looking forward to playing multi-player games with him – I’m sure he’ll be kicking my butt by the time he’s in gradeschool!

I flew to San Francisco in May to surprise my friend Beth at her baby shower. She and her husband Jack are expecting their first child, a boy, at the beginning of July. The shower was so much fun and reminded me why I love San Francisco and the people there!
