YES!

Played Varsity Basketball.

His younger sister Barb was also a Basketball standout. And she was essentially deaf. Amazing!

Started out at Touche Ross as a tax accountant after we graduated. Then he went to Hastings Law.

Agreed.

Ive lived in NYC, CT, and RI.
CA is hard to beat!


Lived in Florida and California wins hands down. You can visit Florida but, living there would be a step down. Lived in Florida(Ft. Lauderdale/ Pompano Beach) during the 80s when the place was the Wild West.

Yes, he played with Bart Bauer and Jon Edwards, Edwards was Dick Edwards kid, Cal BB's head coach. I think Pete Zaloumis was on the team too. I didn't know Bob well, but I think we first crossed paths in 6th grade at JM. I remember Bob had very long dark hair at the time.
Barb I knew who she was, but I didn't really know her.

I'm a second generation Californian. I wouldn't live anywhere else, though I wish I knew exactly when "the big one" was going to hit (Hayward fault, for me).

Quite possibly but could be in 12 days or 12 decades.

Curtis and Esin de Carion also own Revel on the main drag in downtown Danville and Social Bird in Lafayette.

I was trying to remember the name of this place. Used to take my parents there often.
My dad loved their desserts. I'll have to hit it next time in the Bay Area, probably for the Big Game. Never had a bad meal there and the pricing is great.

50's, 60's, and 70's aged patrons.
Lots of retired Chevron execs that used to work down the road at the Bishop Ranch headquarters.

Classy and Comfortable.
This place does not disappoint!

Esin (the wife) is in charge of all of those lovely desserts that you like so much!

My 2026 Porsche Macan GTS is getting closer to home on the Platinum Ray.
Just off the coast of Puerto Vallarta.

Should be in port, offloading in San Diego on Sunday.
Then Benicia and to my dealer around Labor Day.

A nice Labor Day present for a lot of hard work.

Life is good in the Valley.

Stopped off at Esin in Danville on the way home from fighting the good fight in San Jose for the animals.
This was my dessert.

Never bittersweet.





Saw Big Head Todd and the Monsters in Vermont. They were pretty good - better than I expected.

Just dropped my car off at the Port of Benicia yesterday.
Took about 32 days from the Port of Emden in Germany.

The Platinum Ray is now on its way to South Korea.

Thanks my friend!

Benicia really is a Gem.
Lots of history from WW-2 and the downtown area and First Street is so quaint and awesome!





Was our state capitol for 13 months too, back in 1853
