Dick comes home

Dick arrived in California last Wednesday - at midnight. Thankfully Greg picked him up in Oakland. Lucky Grandpa Dick got to spend a few days with Luke Abel.

In the late afternoon, I picked him up in Davis 

at the Amtrak station.

We drove to Dixon to have dinner with his brother Tom's family.  Dick is Clara's godfather.  When she was born, he gave her a bottle of wine to be saved for her 21st birthday which arrived last month.  Tonight the bottle was opened to have with dinner.  Alas, it was vinegary and undrinkable.  Clara is a junior at UC Santa Cruz. 

"What were you thinking?", I asked about giving a newborn a bottle of wine as a gift.  However, no one else thought this was weird.  My bad.
