About Us

Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

Visiting McDonald’s

Categories: Photos, Porter, Alice, Friends — J @ 5:11 pm

I spent most of the day driving to San Jose and Oakland to pick up copies of our marriage certificate and Porter’s birth certificate, which we needed for the insurance at Sarah’s new job by this Friday. I had considered trying to get back in time to take Porter to summer school at eleven, but that idea quickly faded when I didn’t get out of the Santa Clara Recorder’s Office until ten. So instead of rushing from that point on I took it easy. We went to visit a friend pf mine in San Jose, my old boss Greg who was only a few blocks away. He’d never actually met Alice and had seen Porter only once before. So I called him up and happily he was free for a time and we met up near his office.

Alice and Greg at his office in downtown San Jose.

Where Alice was quickly put to work answering phones.

Greg and Porter got on quite well. Here Porter’s holding his hand as we walk back to our car.

In fact both Porter and Alice had a great time seeing my old buddy and colleague Greg.
