Greetings from the Oysterman
Hi everyone, I hope you are healthy, happy and maybe even employed. As I look around, I know times are tough for some of my friends (and family) but I also know if we all make an effort to help each other and stay positive, "we will survive" (the Dead). I am doing well. I continue to lose a few pounds and not find them, my diabetes is almost in complete control and I feel like a teenager physically. Recently I called on my brother Dan to help me at a winery event (I forgive you Gary for flying to Reno with Courtney - hope you had fun) and it was a lot of fun working with my 'little' brother. Thanks Dan. As we go into fall I find myself working with more wineries (recently Clos la Chance) and offering more fundraisers for charity (Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Humane Society, Napa Valley Charities). Please come to my public events if you can, it is so great to see you all. My teaching is going well. Recently my friend Johnny Poch suggested San Jose State University feature me as their 'successful?' alumnus for the fall alumni magazine. So look for me and my students and the catfish farm we have built at my high school to grace the pages of the SJSU alumni magazine. Go Spartans. Anne and I also went back to my undergrad college routes, visiting the forests and rivers of the true northern California coast, namely Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. We walked along wild rivers, walked in redwood groves, walked on desolate beaches and visited the mouths of rivers, where they met the sea. It brought me back 35 years to my days as an Oceanography student at Humboldt State University. You can go back, you just bring a different perspective. I hope I see all of you this fall and winter. Stay warm, stay healthy and stay connected. We are family. Peace, health and MUSIC (and bivalves)
