Happy Halloween to All You Tigers Out There

Julius was going to be a Detroit Tiger, but then ... well, he went as anonymous tiger.

He really didn't want the whiskers drawn on his face, but he had no problem drawing whiskers on Momma's face.

Jeff & Ann came over for lunch at Old Jerusalem. Jeff tried the Arabic coffee. Can you tell? 

"Uh-oh!" The phrase of the week, used in this case to express dismay at the disappearance of yet another pop-up book figure.

Trying to support the Detroit Tigers in their World Series bid, Julius joins the Potrero music class. 

Julius's first cash transaction involved buying this little paper figurine from this young entrepreneur.

Meeting a new friend (Joseph) at Jeff and Rebecca's wedding. Juju helped distract him during a diaper change. I think that qualifies as irony. 

Snacks (we call 'em "Floorios") with Kolya 

Bread, hoodie, Rye-rye's backyard, big smile. 

Reading the classics. Riley says "Ham!" It's so cool. 

Test driving the newest gizmo from Holland: a bike seat, complete with windshield. Duck sold separately. 

A trip to the fish shop. 

Riley's back yard ... There's water, there's hats, and sometimes, there's planes flying overhead. 

Hey! Look over here boys! 

Cart cruisin' at Riley's house! 

Jam session at Ninth Avenue and Irving. 

Bloop! 

Julius got to throw rocks in the water ... into this pond which was strangely sudsy. I'm sure that means it's really, really clean. 

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, the annual, free festival in Golden Gate Park ... this being Kemo Sabe, whose last four songs spanned our entire outing. Oh well, it was a lovely day to be outdoors.
