Coffee Girls
Whenever Sarah has her morning coffee, Alice bugs her incessantly, more so than with other drinks, as if she knows what it is.

Bay Area Brewfest
Yesterday a new beer festival took place in the Bay Area. The Bay Area Brewfest was held at the County Expo Center in San Mateo, California and appeared to be a modest success. It was a pretty good festival, especially for a first time. I was asked to man a table by n of the magazines I write for and I had a lot of fun.
Even though attendance was good, it never felt crowded at the Expo Center, and there was plenty of parking.

Morning Draw
The other morning, Alice was happily drawing — on paper for a change — with her crayons.
